Description

Water cooler device for use domestic.

The invention relates to a device water chiller for domestic use, of the type of employees for dispense cold water and / or at room temperature from a water bottle.

Currently there are different in the market devices capable of dispensing water at room temperature and / or cold water and intended to be installed in industries, premises of use public or in any other area with a significant influx of people.

These devices have characteristics necessary for use in the field to which they are intended, but which prevent its use in a domestic environment, being of note as essential problems that are bulky, which include generally a cold equipment with high energy consumption and that They produce excessive noise.

You have to keep in mind that the houses have an average sound level much lower than that of the industries, so a noise that in these can go unnoticed, is excessive inside the home.

To solve the aforementioned problems, devised the domestic water chiller device object of the invention, which provides constructive particularities oriented to facilitate its use in homes by presenting a small volume, ensure low energy consumption and have a low level sonorous.

This cooling device belongs to the employees to dispense water at room temperature and / or cold water from of a bottle provided with a mouth with a closure set and that they consist of a housing with some circuits to drive the water from the aforementioned bottle to a water dispenser tap to room temperature, or even a water dispenser tap cold, after being cooled by a refrigerator consisting of a evaporator coil, a compressor and a condenser.

According to the invention, the housing of the device comprises a lower enclosure that houses in its inside: a water tank that is surrounded by the coil evaporator to cool the water contained in the same, the refrigerator equipment compressor, a final section of the water dispensing circuit at room temperature, and the section end of the cold water dispensing circuit.

This lower enclosure presents externally in its front face an entrance into which the water dispensing taps, not protruding from the vertical plane front of the housing; providing said entry a shelf for the support of the vessels or containers used for the collection of water dispensed.

According to the invention, the housing also comprises an upper surface to support the bottle of Water. This upper surface has a configuration polygonal prismatic for the support and support of the bottle water container In addition, this upper surface is presented inclined to allow the water contained in the bottle to exit by gravity through its outlet. In turn, a prominence Prismatic emerges from the rear of the upper side of the housing, intersecting the upper surface at the end of smaller height of this one.

The housing has on the front face of the mentioned prismatic prominence of a cavity for introduction of the mouth of the water bottle positioned in the dispenser, being carried out inside said cavity the coupling of the closure set of said water bottle with an inlet pipe to the water conduction circuits. Saying inlet tube emerges from inside prominence prismatic by said cavity.

The back side of the housing includes the Refrigerator equipment condenser responsible for cooling the water contained in the tank of the cold water dispensing circuit.

The mentioned entrance tube to the circuits of water conduction has a hole to allow an entry of air that prevents the formation of a vacuum inside the bottle as it empties. As the closure set located in the mouth of the bottle is airtight, if it was not said hole, the water outlet of the bottle would cause a vacuum in this one that would cause a collapse that would prevent the follower water flowing The inlet tube hole is provided incorporate an air filter to prevent the entry of impurities

The inlet tube intended to be introduced into the The mouth of the bottle has inside the housing a fork to be able to channel the water that accesses through said tube input to the temperature water dispensing circuit ambient and towards the cold water dispensing circuit.

These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which It is accompanied by a sheet of drawings in which it has been represented a case study that is cited only by way of non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 shows a sectioned side view of the household water cooling device.

Figure 2 shows a front view of the water cooling device for domestic use.

As can be seen in the figures referenced, the household water cooling device It consists of a housing (1) with circuits (2, 3) to drive water from a bottle of water (4), endowed in its mouth (41) with a closing assembly (42), up to a water dispenser tap room temperature (21), or up to a dispensing tap cold water (31). In the latter case, the water before reaching the dispensing tap (31) is cooled by a refrigerator composed of an evaporator coil (51), a compressor (52) and a condenser (53). Thus, the device allows the user the choice between room temperature water and cold water.

The housing (1), as shown in the figure 1, comprises a lower enclosure (11) with an inlet (12) in its front face, an upper surface (13) with a configuration polygonal prismatic, and a prismatic prominence (14) with a cavity (15) on its front face.

The lower enclosure (11) of the housing (1) it houses a water tank (32) that is filled with water from of the bottle (4) by means of a filling circuit (33) that forms part of the cold water circuit (3).

The evaporator coil (51) of the equipment refrigerator is arranged around the water tank (32), cooling the water to be supplied by the dispensing tap cold water (31).

As Figure 2 shows, the taps Water dispensers (21, 31) are located at the entrance (12), so that they do not protrude from the vertical plane defined by the outer surface of the housing (1). The lower side of the penetration (12) provides a shelf (16) that allows support of the vessels or similar elements that are used for the collection of water dispensed by any of the taps (21, 31).

The upper surface (13) of the housing (1) it presents a slope inclined towards prismatic prominence (14) so that, as shown in Figure 1, the liquid contained in the bottle (4) can leave by gravity through its mouth (41). In addition, as seen in Figure 2, the water bottle (4) fits in the polygonal prismatic configuration of said upper surface (13).

The mouth (14) of the water bottle (4) placed on the upper surface (13) of the housing (1) is located in the cavity (15) defined in the prismatic prominence (14) of the Case. In this way it is possible to introduce in the set of close (42) of the bottle (4) an inlet tube (6) that channels the  water from the bottle (4) to a fork (61) located inside the housing (1) and that links with the respective water circuits at room temperature (2) and water cold (3).

Said inlet tube (6) comprises a hole (62) that forms an inlet of an air intended for prevent the formation of vacuum inside the bottle. How Figure 1 shows, this hole (62) has a filter attached air (7) to prevent impurities from entering the circuits of water (2, 3).

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated solely by way of example, which will also achieve the protection that collect. This water cooling device can therefore be made for domestic use with media, components and accessories more suitable, being able to replace the component elements with other technically equivalent, for all that is understood within the claims.
