Description

A condensation structure for a cold drink equipment and a snow melting machine Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of snow melting machine technology, and more particularly to a condensation structure for a cold drink equipment and a snow melting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the current home appliance market, with the increasing popularity of healthy lifestyles, consumers are increasingly demanding convenient, efficient, and space-saving small kitchen appliances. The market demand for home-use slush machines (also known as ice cream makers) has increased significantly, especially for making cold drinks such as juice smoothies. However, traditional commercial slush machines are often designed with high efficiency and large ice-making capacity in mind, resulting in large size and complex structure, which is particularly inconvenient for home use. Traditional commercial slush machines typically include a stirring component and a cooling component. The stirring component includes a drive motor and a scraper, while the cooling component includes an evaporator and a condenser. The evaporator freezes liquids such as juice into ice crystals, and the drive motor drives the scraper to rotate and stir the mixture, ultimately forming a slush. The condenser is usually horizontally placed, with the condenser elbows and end plates located on the left and right sides. Therefore, the cabinet of a commercial snow melting machine needs to leave extra space on both sides to accommodate the elbows and also needs to reserve space for the installation of the end plates. Moreover, the cabinet of a commercial snow melting machine is mostly assembled from an integral frame and panels. This not only makes the span of the frame and panels large, but also makes the overall installation and disassembly more troublesome. As a result, commercial snow melting machines are usually large in size, occupying a large area, difficult to move, and not suitable for use in a home environment. Summary of the Invention

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside used in this text are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit the invention.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1, this embodiment of the invention discloses a condensing structure for a cold beverage device. The cold beverage device includes a fixing component 1 and a housing component 3. The condensing structure of the cold beverage device includes a condenser 62. The fixing component 1 includes a chassis 11. The housing component 3 has a support component 8 inside. The bottom of the support component 8 is fixed to the chassis 11. The support component 8 has a mounting part 21 that matches the shape of the condenser 62 for mounting and fixing the condenser 62. The refrigerant circulates between the evaporator 61 and the condenser 62. To transfer heat to the condenser 62, the rear support 2 is provided with a mounting part 21. The condenser 62 includes a condensing elbow 621 containing refrigerant and a condensing straight pipe 623. In traditional snow melting machines, the condenser 62 is usually placed horizontally, that is, the condensing elbow 621 of the condenser 62 is set on the left and right sides of the condenser 62. The refrigerant flows in the condensing straight pipe from left to right or from right to left. In this way, each copper pipe is horizontally connected between the condensing elbows 621 on the left and right sides. The refrigerant flows in the condenser 62 through the single copper pipe. The direction of movement is horizontal. The end plates 622 of the condenser 62 are also located on the left and right sides, and the condenser 62 is fixed by the plates on the left and right sides. Since it is necessary to form a heat dissipation channel 26 and to connect with the end plates 622 on the left and right sides, the left and right sides of the condenser 62 also need to reserve space for the storage of the condensing elbow 621 and the connection and fixing space of the end plates 622. Therefore, the left and right sides of the traditional snow melting machine are relatively wide. However, in this embodiment of the invention, the condensing elbow 621 is located on the upper and lower sides of the condenser 62, and the refrigerant is in the condenser... The condenser 623 flows from top to bottom or bottom to top. The condenser 62 is fixed to the mounting part 21. The left and right sides of the condenser 62 abut against the left and right side walls of the mounting part 21, respectively. Therefore, the left and right sides of the condenser 62 directly abut against the sides of the rear support 2. The sides of the rear support 2 are directly connected to the side plate 31. The household snow melting machine does not require additional space for storing the condenser elbow 621 or for installation on both sides. Therefore, the width of the left and right sides is small, which can reduce the footprint.

[0036] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0037] The condensing structure of the cold drink equipment in this embodiment of the invention includes a condenser 62. The cold drink equipment includes a shell assembly 3 and a fixing assembly 1. In order to reduce the overall volume, the condenser elbow 621 of the condenser 62 is located on the upper and lower sides, that is, it is placed vertically. The refrigerant flows from top to bottom or from bottom to top in the condensing straight pipe 623. The refrigerant changes direction when flowing at the condenser elbow 621. In this way, the fixing position and elbow position of the condenser 62 are distributed in the vertical direction. The condenser 62 is fixed on the mounting part 21 of the upright assembly. The left and right sides of the condenser 62 abut against the left and right side walls of the mounting part 21, respectively. Therefore, there is no need to leave space for the storage and installation of the condenser elbow 621, thereby reducing the width and achieving the effects of compact structure, reduced footprint, and easy handling.

[0038] The cold drink equipment also includes a support assembly 4, a stirring assembly 5, and a cooling assembly 6. The upright assembly 8 includes at least two uprights. The support assembly 4 is connected to or abuts against the upper part of the uprights. The shell assembly 3 surrounds the chassis 11. Specifically, the shell assembly 3 includes a side upright plate 31, a front upright plate 32, and a rear upright plate 33. The side upright plate 31, the front upright plate 32, and the rear upright plate 33 surround the chassis 11. The chassis is surrounded by the front upright plate 32, the side upright plate 31, and the rear upright plate 33. The side upright plate 31 is located on the left and right sides of the chassis 11. The side upright plate 31, the front upright plate 32, and the rear upright plate 33 are multiple components. Compared with the traditional snow melting machine that uses an integrated enclosure and chassis 11 structure, it has the advantages of easy disassembly and maintenance, small component span, and high overall strength.

[0039] The support assembly 4 includes a support frame 41, which supports the stirring assembly 5. The stirring assembly 5 includes a protective cover 51, a drive motor 52, and a scraper 53. The protective cover 51 is fixed to the support frame 41 and protects the drive motor 52. The drive motor 52 is located inside the protective cover 51. The scraper 53 is connected to the drive motor 52. The refrigeration assembly 6 includes an evaporator 61, which is located on the side of the drive motor 52. The drive shaft of the drive motor 52 passes through the protective cover 51 and the evaporator 61 and is connected to the scraper 53. Therefore, the evaporator 61 is connected to the protective cover 51. The drive motor 52 can drive the scraper 53 to rotate on the side wall of the evaporator 61. The evaporator 61 is located in the solution chamber 711. After liquid is poured in, the evaporator 61 freezes the liquid. Subsequently, the drive motor 52 drives the scraper 53 to rotate and stir on the surface of the evaporator 61.

[0040] The support frame assembly 8 includes a front support frame 81 and a rear support frame 2. The bottom of the rear support frame 2 is fixed to the chassis 11. The side support plates 31 are located on the left and right sides of the chassis 11. The two sides of the rear support frame 2 abut against the side support plates 31. The two sides of the rear support frame 2 are directly connected to the side support plates 31, without creating additional arrangement space on the left and right sides. The support frame 41 is connected to or abuts against the rear support frame 2, and the rear support frame 2 can support the support frame 41. The mounting part 21 is provided on the rear support frame 2, and the mounting part 21 is groove-shaped.

[0041] Specifically, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the rear end of the chassis 11 is provided with a rear connecting portion 12. The rear connecting portion 12 has a support frame limiting groove 121 with its opening facing upwards. A support frame fixing hole 122 is provided on the outer side of the support frame limiting groove 121. Vertically mounted column portions 22 are provided on the left and right sides of the rear support frame 2. A rear insert plate 221 is provided at the bottom of each column portion 22, extending downwards. The side of the rear insert plate 221 is provided with… A rear mounting plate 222 is provided, which protrudes outward from the surface of the rear insert plate 221 toward the outside of the rear upright 2. The rear insert plate 221 and the rear mounting plate 222 form an "L" shape. During installation, the rear insert plate 221 can be inserted into the upright limiting groove 121 to form a limiting effect. Then, using screws or other fasteners, the rear mounting plate 222 is fixed in the upright fixing hole 122, thereby facilitating the fixing of the rear upright 2.

[0042] Referring to Figure 4, when installing the support frame 41, the support frame 41 has a rear support mounting part 411 on its rear side, the rear upright 2 has a rear upper protrusion 23 on its top, and the rear support mounting part 411 has a vertically arranged first rear limiting post 412 on its side. The first rear limiting post 412 and the rear support mounting part 411 form a rear limiting groove 413. During installation, the rear upper protrusion 23 can be inserted into the rear limiting groove 413, thereby limiting the rear support mounting part 411. The rear upper protrusion 23 has a horizontally arranged rear upper protrusion fixing hole 231. The rear support mounting part 411 is fixed in the rear upper protrusion fixing hole 231 using fasteners.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 2, in order to further fix the rear upright frame 2, side limit holes 223 are also provided on the upright column portion 22. Side limit posts 312 are provided on the inner side wall of the side upright plate 31. The positions of the side limit posts 312 correspond to those of the side limit holes 223. During installation, the side limit posts 312 can be inserted into the side limit holes 223. The side upright plates 31 on both sides can fix the upright column portions 22 on both sides of the rear upright frame 2, thereby further fixing the rear upright frame 2 and ensuring the stability of the condenser 62 inside the rear upright frame 2.

[0044] Among them, referring to FIG. 5, a rear lower convex portion 24 is provided below the rear upper convex portion 23. The rear upper convex portion 23 and the rear lower convex portion 24 are provided between the two upright column portions 22. The rear upper convex portion 23, the rear lower convex portion 24 and the two upright column portions 22 enclose the installation portion 21, forming a "mouth" shape, which can conform to the shape of the condenser 62, facilitating the fixation of the condenser 62, and enabling the rear upper convex portion 23, the rear lower convex portion 24 and the two upright column portions 22 to enclose a heat dissipation channel 26, facilitating the ventilation and heat dissipation of the condenser 62.

[0045] Furthermore, end plates 622 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the condenser 62. The end plates 622 are used to fix the copper tubes and the condensation elbows 621. In addition, by using the end plates 622, the condenser 62 can be fixed. The end plates 622 are respectively fixed on the rear upper convex portion 23 and the rear lower convex portion 24. Fixing the end plates 622 on the upper and lower sides of the rear upright frame 2 can save the space on the left and right sides of the rear upright frame 2, and the height of the rear upright frame 2 itself can accommodate the condenser 62 after being placed vertically, so the overall volume can be reduced. On the side of the rear upper convex portion 23 away from the first rear limit post 412, a vertically arranged rear limit plate 232 is also provided. On the bottom of the rear support installation portion 411, a vertically arranged second rear limit post 414 is provided. After the rear support installation portion 411 is installed, the side of the second rear limit post 414 can abut against the side of the rear limit plate 232, and the bottom of the rear support installation portion 411 abuts against the upper side edge of the rear limit plate 232. The rear limit groove 413 and the second rear limit post 414 form a horizontal limit for the rear support installation portion 411, and the rear limit plate 232 forms a vertical limit and support for the rear support installation portion 411.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 2, in order to support the support bracket 41, the front upright frame 81 and the rear upright frame 2 are respectively provided at the bottoms of the front and rear ends of the support bracket 41, and can fix the support bracket 41 from both ends respectively.

[0047] Furthermore, the top of the side plate 31 is provided with an upper limit groove 311, which is arranged along the front-back direction and has its opening facing upward. The top edge of the support frame 41 is provided with an upper limit rib 418, which is arranged along the front-back direction and extends downward. During installation, the upper limit rib 418 can be inserted into the upper limit groove 311 to form a limit, which improves the connection strength and also provides support for the support frame 41.

[0048] Referring to Figure 6, the refrigeration assembly 6 further includes a first cooling fan 63 and a compressor 64. The first cooling fan 63 is used to dissipate heat from the condenser 62. The compressor 64, the condenser 62, and the evaporator 61 form a refrigeration cycle. The rear support frame 2 also includes a front groove 25. The mounting part 21 is located on the side of the rear support frame 2 near the rear support plate 33. The front groove 25 is located on the side of the rear support frame 2 near the front support plate 32. That is, the front groove 25 and the mounting part 21 are located on opposite sides of the rear support frame 2. The first cooling fan 63 is fixed in the front groove 25, and the condenser 62 is fixed in the mounting part 21. A heat dissipation channel 26 is formed between the two support columns 22. The front groove 25 and the mounting part 21 are connected through the heat dissipation channel 26, so that the first cooling fan 63 can provide forced heat dissipation to the condenser 62. The compressor 64 is fixed on the chassis 11 and located between the first cooling fan 63 and the front upright plate 32. While the first cooling fan 63 is drawing in air, it can also generate airflow on the surface of the compressor 64, thereby generating a cooling effect on the compressor 64.

[0049] Furthermore, the refrigeration assembly 6 also includes a throttling pipe 65 and a return pipe 66. The throttling pipe 65 throttles and reduces the pressure of the condensed refrigerant, facilitating its evaporation within the evaporator 61. The compressor 64 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 62, the condenser 62 is connected to the evaporator 61 via the throttling pipe 65, and the evaporator 61 is connected to the compressor 64 via the return pipe 66. To facilitate pipe laying and save space occupied by copper pipes, adapting to a small volume, the throttling pipe 65 is distributed along the return pipe 66. Thus, due to the small diameter of the throttling pipe 65, the throttling pipe 65 and the return pipe 66 can share the pipe laying space. Moreover, the middle section of the throttling pipe 65 is wound and fixed to the middle section of the return pipe 66, which can serve to fix the throttling pipe 65, saving the need for fixing components and additional fixing space for the throttling pipe 65.

[0050] In addition, the stirring assembly 5 also includes a second cooling fan 54, which is disposed inside the protective cover 51 and connected to the main shaft of the drive motor 52. The drive motor 52 can drive the second cooling fan 54 to rotate, and the second cooling fan 54 can dissipate heat from the drive motor 52. Furthermore, the bottom of the protective cover 51 is provided with a first heat dissipation hole 511, and the bottom of the support frame 41 is provided with a second heat dissipation hole 415. The positions of the first heat dissipation hole 511 and the second heat dissipation hole 415 are corresponding and both are located below the drive motor 52. The second cooling fan 54 can draw air through the first heat dissipation hole 511 and the second heat dissipation hole 415, forming airflow inside the protective cover 51. Meanwhile, utilizing the first heat dissipation hole 511 and the second heat dissipation hole 415, the return pipe 66 and the throttling pipe 65 both pass through the protective cover 51 from the side of the evaporator 61 and pass downward through the first heat dissipation hole 511 and the second heat dissipation hole 415 in sequence. The first heat dissipation hole 511 and the second heat dissipation hole 415 can be used for heat dissipation and also provide pipe running space for the return pipe 66 and the throttling pipe 65.

[0051] Furthermore, for ease of use, referring to Figure 6, the support assembly 4 also includes a water receiving tray 42. The support frame 41 is provided with a receiving groove 416, and the water receiving tray 42 is disposed on the receiving groove 416 and located below the evaporator 61 and the scraper 53. In this way, during use, the liquid remaining in the solution chamber 711 can be collected through the water receiving tray 42, and the liquid will not drip into the gas area in the equipment. One end of the water receiving tray 42 is sealed to the bottom of the protective cover 51 to prevent liquid from entering the protective cover 51. At the same time, the other end of the water receiving tray 42 has longitudinally arranged water tray limiting grooves 421 on both the left and right sides. The front end of the support frame 41 is provided with a connecting buckle 417. When installing the water receiving tray 42, the connecting buckle 417 can be inserted into the horizontal limiting groove, thereby limiting and fixing the water receiving tray 42.

[0052] Referring to Figure 7, the household snow melter also includes a dispensing assembly 7, which comprises a horizontally arranged storage cylinder 71 and a vertically arranged dispensing cylinder 72. A solution chamber 711 is located inside the storage cylinder 71, into which liquids such as juice are poured. The storage cylinder 71 covers the evaporator 61 and is located above the water receiving tray 42. The storage cylinder 71 and the dispensing cylinder 72 are interconnected through a connecting port 73. The dispensing cylinder 72 is equipped with a pull valve 74, and a pull handle 75 is located on the top of the pull valve 74. The pull handle 75 can drive the pull valve 74 to close or open the connecting port 73. During ice making, the pull valve 74 is used to close the connecting port 73. After ice making is completed, the connecting port 73 is opened, and the scraper 53 can push the slush through the connecting port 73 into the dispensing cylinder, thereby dispensing the slush.

[0053] This invention also discloses a slush machine, including the condensation structure of a cold drink device as described above. The slush machine can produce cold drinks or desserts, including but not limited to smoothies or ice cream. The slush machine includes a fixing component 1, a housing component 3, a support component 4, a stirring component 5, and a cooling component 6. The fixing component 1 includes a chassis 11 and a rear support frame 2 mounted on the chassis 11. The housing component 3 includes side panels 31, a front panel 32, and a rear panel 33. Therefore, the slush machine of this invention adopts a split structure, disassembling the integral frame and panels of a traditional commercial slush machine into multiple parts, allowing for individual installation and disassembly of each side and support, thus facilitating maintenance. Furthermore, in order to reduce the overall size, the condenser elbow 621 of the condenser 62 of the refrigeration component 6 is located on the upper and lower sides, that is, it is placed vertically. In this way, the fixed position of the condenser 62 and the elbow position are distributed in the vertical direction, and the two sides of the rear support 2 of the fixing component 1 can be closely attached to the left and right sides of the condenser 62, without leaving any storage space or installation space for the condenser elbow 621. This reduces the width and achieves the effects of compact structure, reduced footprint, and easy handling.

[0054] The refrigerant flow changing direction at the condensing elbow specifically means that the refrigerant changes its flow direction from top to bottom to top, or vice versa.

[0055] Furthermore, the width of the condenser 62 is in the range of A, 130≤A≤180mm. The width of the condenser 62 refers to the distance between its left and right sides without condensation bends. The ratio of the width to the length of the snow melting machine is M, 0.3≤M≤0.5. The ratio of the length to the height of the snow melting machine is N, 0.9≤N≤1.1. Specifically, the width of the snow melting machine refers to the distance between its two left and right side panels, and the length of the snow melting machine is P, 380≤P≤420mm. Further, the preferred dimensions of the snow melting machine (width*length*height) are 155*415*400mm. Traditional snow melting machines typically have a width of over 210mm, indicating that the width of the snow melting machine in this embodiment is significantly reduced compared to traditional snow melting machines.

[0056] The above are preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
