Description

A condenser mounting structure for a smoothie machine Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a condenser mounting structure for a smoothie maker. Background Technology

[0002] With improved living standards and changing lifestyles, making smoothies from various flavored beverages is not only delicious but also quite fun, making it a popular choice during the hot summer months. A smoothie maker is a device that uses high-speed rotating blades to break up ice cubes in a blending cup, creating a sandy ice-water mixture. The maker also includes a refrigeration module for supplying ice water or ice cubes. This module mainly consists of a compressor, hot and cold circulation piping, and a condenser. The condenser is the heat dissipation component in the hot and cold circulation piping. Its main body is a serpentine coiled pipe covered with heat dissipation fins, which are typically cooled by forced airflow from a fan to improve efficiency. Current condenser structures are relatively simple, usually requiring an external plastic connector for installation on the main unit to connect to the compressor and hot and cold circulation piping, making installation somewhat inconvenient.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN220541840U discloses a condenser installation device, including a condenser body, a discharge pipe and an inlet pipe provided on the side wall of the condenser body, a filter device provided in the inlet pipe, and an installation device provided on the top of the condenser body. The installation device is used to install the condenser body. The installation device includes a sliding seat that is slidably engaged with the top of the condenser body. A screw is installed on the sliding seat, and the screw is threadedly connected to a sliding block for pushing the sliding block up and down. The sliding block has an installation hole for cooperating with the connection hole of the installation component. A bolt is threaded through the sliding seat, and the bottom end of the bolt is rotatably sleeved with an anti-sliding block for pushing the anti-sliding block to press against the top of the condenser body. During installation, the sliding seat is pushed to slide on the condenser body. When the two sets of positions and spacing of the sliding seat are suitable for connecting the installation component, the bolt threadedly connects to the sliding seat, pushing the anti-sliding block to move and press against the top of the condenser body, restricting the movement of the sliding seat.

[0004] The condenser installation process in the aforementioned prior art is relatively complex, involving numerous components, making installation inconvenient and increasing production costs. Therefore, the existing technology requires further improvement and development. Technical solutions

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a condenser installation structure for a smoothie machine that is structurally sound, easy to install, and has a lower cost.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This utility model discloses a condenser mounting structure for a smoothie machine, comprising a bracket, a base plate, and a refrigeration module. A support frame is connected between the bracket and the base plate. The refrigeration module includes a condenser and a fan. A matching frame is mounted on the condenser, which is positioned between the bracket and the base plate. The upper end of the matching frame is connected to the bracket, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the base plate. The fan is fixedly connected to the matching frame, thus pairing with the condenser. The matching frame serves as a rigid support structure mounted on the condenser, and the fan can be fixed to the matching frame for better stability. The matching frame and the support frame connect the bracket and the base plate to form the main frame of the smoothie machine. The matching frame makes the condenser an integral part of the main frame, facilitating installation and reducing overall cost.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the supporting frame includes side uprights and a front panel. Side uprights are provided on both sides of the condenser, and two side uprights are fixedly connected to each side of the front panel. The fan is fixedly connected to the front panel. The upper end of each side upright is connected to a bracket, and the lower end is fixedly connected to a base plate. Specifically, the front panel and the two side uprights form a "U"-shaped structure. The condenser is placed within the groove formed by this "U"-shaped structure, thus protecting the condenser with the supporting frame. The two side uprights are respectively connected to the bracket and the base plate, providing support for the main frame. Simultaneously, the "U"-shaped structure formed by the front panel and the two side uprights acts like a channel steel keel, providing better strength to ensure the structural strength and stability of the main frame. It is understood that the fan is mounted on the front panel, which has a perforated plate as an air passage, allowing the airflow generated by the fan to pass through the panel and act on the condenser.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the upper end of the side plate is provided with a first bending page, which has a centering hole and a first fixing hole; the bracket is provided with a centering shaft and a screw hole, the centering shaft passes through the centering hole so that the first fixing hole and the screw hole are matched, and the screw connects the first fixing hole and the screw hole to fix the first bending page to the bracket. The condenser and the matching bracket can be assembled as a whole, that is, the condenser and the fan are first assembled on the matching bracket as a component, and then the centering hole on the first bending page is matched with the centering shaft so that the first fixing hole is matched with the screw hole on the bracket, and then the connection is fastened with screws, which can effectively optimize the assembly process and improve assembly efficiency. Of course, the matching bracket is also first installed between the bracket and the base plate. Similarly, the matching hole and the centering shaft can make the matching of the first fixing hole and the screw hole faster. It is understandable that the first bent page may have multiple fixing holes. For example, first fixing holes may be set on both sides of the centering hole. After the centering hole is matched with the centering shaft to achieve positioning, both first fixing holes can be matched with the screw holes on the bracket, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the lower end of the side panel is provided with a second bent flap, and the second bent flap has a second fixing hole. The base plate has a screw hole that matches the second fixing hole. Screws connect the second fixing hole and the screw hole to fix the second bent flap to the base plate. After the first bent flap on the side panel is fixedly connected to the bracket, the second fixing hole on the second bent flap and the screw hole on the base plate can also automatically align, so that the second bent flap can be quickly and securely connected to the base plate by screws.

[0011] According to the above scheme, a third bending flap is provided on both sides of the panel, and a third fixing hole is provided on the third bending flap. The side panels and condenser are provided with screw holes that match the third fixing holes. Screws connect the third fixing holes and screw holes to fix the third bending flap, side panels, and condenser together. Similarly, preferably, the condenser and the matching frame are assembled as a single unit, that is, the condenser is first assembled with the panel and the two side panels. Specifically, the two side panels are fitted against the two side walls of the condenser, and then the panel cover is installed on the condenser, so that the third bending flaps on both sides of the panel fasten the two side panels. Screws are then used to secure the connection through the third fixing holes and screw holes, thus the matching frame is integrally mounted on the condenser.

[0012] According to the above scheme, both the upper and lower ends of the panel are provided with bent edges, and the two bent edges respectively cover the upper and lower end surfaces connected to the condenser. The bent edges can provide positioning for the upper and lower ends of the condenser, making it easier to position the screw holes in the third fixing hole when assembling the condenser with the matching bracket. Of course, the bent edges also provide protection for the condenser.

[0013] According to the above scheme, the panel is provided with several fourth fixing holes, and the fan is provided with several through holes. Screws pass through the through holes and connect to the fourth fixing holes to fix the fan to the panel. It can be understood that the panel is provided with a perforated plate for ventilation, located in the central area of ​​the panel opposite the condenser, and several fourth fixing holes are arranged around the perforated plate. Furthermore, the fan is fastened to the panel through the several fourth fixing holes and screws, and the airflow generated by the fan can pass through the perforated plate on the panel and act on the condenser.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the support frame and the condenser are spaced apart, thus forming an air duct between the bracket and the base plate. The refrigeration module also includes a compressor, which is installed in the air duct and fixedly connected to the base plate. The compressor is connected to the condenser through a circulation pipeline. It is understood that the support frame and the aforementioned matching frame are spaced apart, and the distance between them can be adjusted according to the specifications of the slush machine, thereby forming an extra-wide air duct between the bracket and the base plate. Beneficial effects

[0015] This utility model discloses a condenser mounting structure for a slush machine. The matching frame is installed on the condenser as a rigid support structure. The fan can be fixed on the matching frame for better stability. The matching frame and the support frame connect the bracket and the base plate to form the main frame of the slush machine. The matching frame makes the condenser a component of the main frame, making installation more convenient and reducing the overall cost. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1-3, the condenser 2 mounting structure of the slush machine of this utility model includes a bracket 1, a base plate 11, and a refrigeration module. A support frame 12 is connected between the bracket 1 and the base plate 11. The refrigeration module includes a condenser 2 and a fan 21. A matching frame 3 is provided on the condenser 2, which is located between the bracket 1 and the base plate 11. The upper end of the matching frame 3 is connected to the bracket 1, and the lower end of the matching frame 3 is fixedly connected to the base plate 11. The fan 21 is fixedly connected to the matching frame 3, thus pairing with the condenser 2. The matching frame 3 is installed on the condenser 2 as a rigid support structure, and the fan 21 can be fixed on the matching frame 3, resulting in better stability. The matching frame 3 and the support frame 12 connect the bracket 1 and the base plate 11 to form the main frame of the slush machine. The matching frame 3 makes the condenser 2 a component of the main frame, making installation more convenient and reducing the overall cost.

[0023] The supporting frame 3 includes side uprights 31 and a panel 32. Side uprights 31 are provided on both sides of the condenser 2. Two side uprights 31 are fixedly connected to each side of the panel 32. The fan 21 is fixedly connected to the panel 32. The upper end of the side uprights 31 is connected to the bracket 1, and the lower end of the side uprights 31 is fixedly connected to the base plate 11. Specifically, the panel 32 and the two side uprights 31 form a "U"-shaped structure. The condenser 2 is placed within the groove formed by this "U"-shaped structure, thus protecting the condenser 2 with the supporting frame 3. The two side uprights 31 are respectively connected to the bracket 1 and the base plate 11, providing support for the main frame. Simultaneously, the "U"-shaped structure formed by the panel 32 and the two side uprights 31 is equivalent to a channel steel keel, providing better strength to ensure the structural strength and stability of the main frame. It is understood that the fan 21 is mounted on the panel 32, which has a perforated plate as an air passage, allowing the airflow generated by the fan 21 to pass through the panel 32 and act on the condenser 2.

[0024] The upper end of the side plate 31 is provided with a first bending leaf 33, which has a centering hole 331 and a first fixing hole 332. The bracket 1 is provided with a centering shaft 101 and a screw hole. The centering shaft 101 passes through the centering hole 331, so that the first fixing hole 332 is matched with the screw hole. The screw connects the first fixing hole 332 and the screw hole, thereby fixing the first bending leaf 33 to the bracket 1. The condenser 2 and the matching frame 3 can be assembled as a whole. That is, the condenser 2 and the fan 21 are first assembled on the matching frame 3 as a component, and then the centering hole 331 on the first bending leaf 33 is matched with the centering shaft 101, so that the first fixing hole 332 is matched with the screw hole on the bracket 1, and then the connection is fastened with screws. This can effectively optimize the assembly process and improve assembly efficiency. Of course, the matching frame 3 is also first installed between the bracket 1 and the base plate 11. Similarly, the cooperation between the centering hole 331 and the centering shaft 101 makes the pairing of the first fixing hole 332 with the screw hole faster. It can be understood that the first bending page 33 can have multiple fixing holes. For example, the first fixing holes 332 can be provided on both sides of the centering hole 331. After the centering hole 331 is paired with the centering shaft 101 for positioning, both first fixing holes 332 can be paired with the screw holes on the bracket 1, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0025] The lower end of the side plate 31 is provided with a second bent flap 34, which has a second fixing hole 341. The base plate 11 has a screw hole that matches the second fixing hole 341. Screws connect the second fixing hole 341 and the screw hole to fix the second bent flap 34 to the base plate 11. After the first bent flap 33 on the side plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1, the second fixing hole 341 on the second bent flap 34 can also automatically align with the screw hole on the base plate 11, so that the second bent flap 34 can be quickly fastened to the base plate 11 by screws.

[0026] The panel 32 has third bent flaps 35 on both sides, and each third bent flap 35 has a third fixing hole 351. The side plate 31 and the condenser 2 have screw holes that match the third fixing holes 351. Screws connect the third fixing holes 351 and the screw holes to fix the third bent flaps 35, the side plate 31, and the condenser 2. Similarly, preferably, the condenser 2 and the matching frame 3 are assembled as a single unit, that is, the condenser 2 is first assembled with the panel 32 and the two side plates 31. Specifically, the two side plates 31 are fitted against the two side walls of the condenser 2, and then the panel 32 is placed on the condenser 2, so that the third bent flaps 35 on both sides of the panel 32 fasten the two side plates 31. Then, screws are used to fasten the connection through the third fixing holes 351 and the screw holes, so that the matching frame 3 is integrally set on the condenser 2.

[0027] Both the upper and lower ends of the panel 32 are provided with bent edges 36, which respectively cover the upper and lower ends of the condenser 2. The bent edges 36 can position the upper and lower ends of the condenser 2, making it easier to position the screw hole 351 when the condenser 2 is assembled with the matching bracket 3. Of course, the bent edges 36 also provide protection for the condenser 2.

[0028] The panel 32 has several fourth fixing holes 321, and the fan 21 has several through holes. Screws pass through the through holes and connect to the fourth fixing holes 321, thereby fixing the fan 21 to the panel 32. It can be understood that the panel 32 has a perforated plate for ventilation, located in the central area of ​​the panel 32 opposite to the condenser 2, and several fourth fixing holes 321 are arranged around the perforated plate. Furthermore, the fan 21 is fastened to the panel 32 through the several fourth fixing holes 321 and screws, and the airflow generated by the fan 21 can pass through the perforated plate on the panel 32 and act on the condenser 2.

[0029] The support frame 12 and the condenser 2 are spaced apart from each other, thus forming an air duct 13 between the bracket 1 and the base plate 11. The refrigeration module also includes a compressor 22, which is disposed within the air duct 13 and fixedly connected to the base plate 11. The compressor 22 is connected to the condenser 2 through a circulation pipeline. It is understood that the support frame 12 and the aforementioned matching frame 3 are spaced apart, and the distance between them can be adjusted according to the specifications of the slush machine, thereby forming an extra-wide air duct 13 between the bracket 1 and the base plate 11.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
