本考案は飲料水を冷却する冷水機に係り、詳しくは、水を収容する貯水タンク に給水管、出水管からなる水回路を設け、前記給水管、出水管の少なくとも一方 に開閉弁を設けるとともに、螺旋状に巻回形成した冷凍装置の蒸発管を前記貯水 タンク内に設けてなる冷水機の改良に関する。 The present invention relates to a water cooler for cooling drinking water, and more specifically, to a water storage tank for storing water. is provided with a water circuit consisting of a water supply pipe and a water outlet pipe, and at least one of the water supply pipe and the water outlet pipe is provided. An on-off valve is provided in the water storage area, and a spirally wound evaporation pipe of the refrigeration system is installed in the water storage area. Concerning improvements to water coolers installed in tanks.
【０００２】0002
従来の冷水機は、図３に示すように、断熱材１で断熱された貯水タンク２内に 冷凍装置３に接続され螺旋状に巻回形成された蒸発管４が設けられている。さら に、前記貯水タンク２に、水５を給水する給水管６と水５を出水する出水管７及 びタンクガス逃し弁８が配設されているとともに給水管６には開閉弁９が設けら れている。 また、前記貯水タンク２内には給水管６の給水口１０に対向して遮蔽板１１が 設けられている。 As shown in Fig. 3, a conventional water cooler has a water storage tank 2 insulated with a heat insulating material 1. An evaporation tube 4 connected to the refrigeration device 3 and spirally wound is provided. Sara In addition, a water supply pipe 6 for supplying water 5 and a water outlet pipe 7 for discharging water 5 are connected to the water storage tank 2. In addition, the water supply pipe 6 is provided with an on-off valve 9 and a tank gas relief valve 8. It is. In addition, a shielding plate 11 is provided in the water storage tank 2 facing the water supply port 10 of the water supply pipe 6. It is provided.
【０００３】 そして、貯水タンク２内の水５は冷凍装置３と蒸発管４により冷却され、更に 蒸発管４の周りに氷１２が生成されて蓄氷する。蒸発管４の周りに一定量の氷１ ２が蓄氷すると蓄氷制御素子１５が氷１２を検知して冷凍装置３の運転を停止す る。0003 Then, the water 5 in the water storage tank 2 is cooled by the refrigeration device 3 and the evaporation pipe 4, and further Ice 12 is generated and stored around the evaporator tube 4. A certain amount of ice 1 around the evaporator tube 4 2 accumulates ice, the ice storage control element 15 detects the ice 12 and stops the operation of the refrigeration system 3. Ru.
【０００４】 この状態で、給水管６に設けられた開閉弁９を開くことにより、前記貯水タン ク２内に水５が給水され、給水口１０より流入された給水流は対向した遮蔽板１ １により下方への流れが阻止され、一旦横方向に流れた後、遮蔽板１１の外周部 より貯水タンク２の下方へ流下する。一方、その水圧により前記貯水タンク２内 で冷却されていた水５と混合されて出水管７より出水する。0004 In this state, the water storage tank is opened by opening the on-off valve 9 provided in the water supply pipe 6. Water 5 is supplied into the tank 2, and the water flow flowing in from the water supply port 10 is directed to the shielding plate 1 opposite to the water supply port 10. 1 prevents the flow from flowing downward, and once the flow flows laterally, the outer peripheral portion of the shielding plate 11 The water flows further downward into the water storage tank 2. On the other hand, due to the water pressure, the inside of the water storage tank 2 is The water is mixed with the water 5 that has been cooled in the water outlet pipe 7, and the water is discharged from the water outlet pipe 7.
【０００５】 しかしながら、このような構造のものでは、貯水タンク２内の冷却された水５ を出水する時、給水口１０より給水された水５は、遮蔽板１１により下方への流 れが阻止されるため、直接出水管７へ流れ込む短絡流は生じ難いが、貯水タンク ２内に蓄氷されている氷１２を短時間で融解することができなかった。[0005] However, with such a structure, the cooled water 5 in the water storage tank 2 When water is discharged, the water 5 supplied from the water supply port 10 is prevented from flowing downward by the shielding plate 11. Since this prevents the flow from flowing directly into the water outlet pipe 7, short-circuit flow is unlikely to occur, but the water storage tank It was not possible to melt the ice 12 stored in ice 2 in a short time.
【０００６】 このため、給水された水５は、氷の融解熱を効率的に利用できずに、ほとんど 冷却されないまま、貯水タンク２内の予め冷却された水２と混合して出水管７よ り出水してしまう。これより、出水する冷水の水温は給水される水温に大きく影 響され、出水が始まるとただちに温度上昇が始まり、低温の冷水を多量に得るこ とができないという問題があった。[0006] For this reason, the supplied water 5 cannot utilize the heat of melting of the ice efficiently, and almost no water is used. Without being cooled, it mixes with the pre-cooled water 2 in the water storage tank 2 and flows through the water outlet pipe 7. Water leaks out. From this, the temperature of the cold water that comes out has a large effect on the temperature of the water that is supplied. As soon as the sound is heard and water begins to flow, the temperature begins to rise, making it possible to obtain a large amount of low-temperature cold water. There was a problem that it was not possible to
【０００７】[0007]
このように、従来の冷水機は、氷の融解熱を効果的に利用できず、出水する水 温が給水の水温に大きく影響されてしまい、低温の冷水を安定した温度で連続し て出水できないといった問題があった。 In this way, conventional water coolers cannot effectively utilize the heat of melting ice, and the water that comes out The temperature is greatly affected by the water temperature of the water supply, and it is difficult to continuously supply low-temperature cold water at a stable temperature. There was a problem that water could not be accessed.
【０００８】 本考案は、上記事情に基づきなされたもので、簡単な構成でありながら、氷の 融解熱を効果的に利用できて、給水される水の水温に影響されることなく低温の 冷水を安定した温度で連続して出水できるようにした冷水機を提供することを目 的とする。[0008] The present invention was developed based on the above circumstances, and although it has a simple structure, it The heat of fusion can be used effectively, allowing low-temperature production without being affected by the temperature of the water being supplied. Our aim is to provide a water cooler that can continuously supply cold water at a stable temperature. target

本考案は、前記課題を解決すべく、水を収容する貯水タンクに給水管、出水管 からなる水回路を設けるとともに前記給水管、出水管の少なくとも一方に開閉弁 を設け、かつ、螺旋状に巻回形成した冷凍装置の蒸発管を前記貯水タンク内に設 けてなる冷水機において、前記貯水タンク内かつ前記蒸発管の内径側および外径 側に位置する状態、かつ前記蒸発管の外表面への蓄氷に伴い相互対向面間に前記 蒸発管の長さ方向に沿う螺旋状の通水路を形成し得る状態に筒状の第１および第 ２の仕切体を設け、前記開閉弁を解放することにより前記給水管より貯水タンク 内に流入する水を前記通水路を経て流入させ、その水圧によって出水管より出水 するように構成したものである。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides a water supply pipe and a water outlet pipe to a water storage tank that stores water. A water circuit is provided, and an on-off valve is installed in at least one of the water supply pipe and the water outlet pipe. and a spirally wound evaporation pipe of the refrigeration device is installed in the water storage tank. In the water cooler, the inner diameter side and the outer diameter of the evaporation pipe within the water storage tank and the evaporation pipe. When the ice is stored on the outer surface of the evaporation tube, the The cylindrical first and second tubes are arranged to form a spiral passage along the length of the evaporation tube. 2 partitions are provided, and by opening the on-off valve, the water storage tank can be accessed from the water supply pipe. The water flowing into the interior flows through the water passage, and the water pressure causes water to flow out from the water pipe. It is configured to do so.

この技術的手段による作用は次のようになる。 The effect of this technical means is as follows.
【００１１】 すなわち、給水管に設けられた開閉弁を解放することにより貯水タンク内で冷 却されていた冷水が出水される。一方、給水管より貯水タンク内に流入する水は 蒸発管の外表面に生成された氷と第１，第２の仕切体で区画された螺旋状の通水 路内を通過する。この通水路を通過する際に水は蒸発管の外表面に生成された氷 表面に沿って流れて氷を融解し、氷の大きな融解熱で急冷され充分に冷却された 低温水となる。そして、この充分に冷却された低温水は貯水タンク内の中央の貯 水部へ流入し予め予冷されていた冷水と混合しながら出水管より出水する。この ため、給水される水温に影響されることなく、低温の冷水を安定した温度で連続 して出水することができる。[0011] In other words, by opening the on-off valve installed in the water supply pipe, the water is cooled in the water storage tank. The cold water that had been drained will be released. On the other hand, the water flowing into the water storage tank from the water supply pipe is Ice generated on the outer surface of the evaporation tube and spiral water flow divided by the first and second partitions Pass through the road. When water passes through this passageway, ice forms on the outer surface of the evaporation tube. It flows along the surface, melts the ice, and is rapidly cooled by the large heat of melting of the ice. It becomes low temperature water. This sufficiently cooled low-temperature water is then stored in the central storage tank. The water flows into the water section and mixes with pre-cooled cold water before exiting from the water outlet pipe. this Therefore, it is possible to continuously supply low-temperature cold water at a stable temperature without being affected by the water temperature. It can be drained.

以下、本考案の一実施例を図１および図２を参照して説明する。 図１は冷水機の全体構成を示し、断熱材１で断熱された貯水タンク２内に冷凍 装置３に接続された蒸発管４が設けられている。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the overall configuration of a water cooler. An evaporation tube 4 connected to the device 3 is provided.
【００１３】 さらに、前記貯水タンク２に、水５を給水する給水管６と水５を出水する出水 管７及びタンクガス逃し弁８が配設されているとともに給水管６には開閉弁９が 設けられている。 前記蒸発管４は、図２で示すように各々の隣接する管部４ａ，４ａ間に一定の 間隙Ｌ0 を保持した形で螺旋状に巻回形成されている。Furthermore, the water storage tank 2 is provided with a water supply pipe 6 for supplying water 5 , a water outlet pipe 7 for discharging water 5 , and a tank gas relief valve 8 , and the water supply pipe 6 is provided with an on-off valve 9 . It is provided. As shown in FIG. 2, the evaporation tube 4 is spirally wound with a constant gap L 0 maintained between adjacent tube portions 4a, 4a.
【００１４】 さらに、貯水タンク２内には、前記蒸発管４を挟み、ほぼ等間隙Ｌ2 を隔てた 様態で、内径側に円筒状の第１の仕切体（以後、内側仕切体という）２０、外径 側には円筒状の第２の仕切体（以後、外側仕切体という）２１が設けられており 、これら内側仕切体２０および外側仕切体２１は螺旋状に巻回形成した蒸発管４ のほぼ全長に亘って施されている。Furthermore, inside the water storage tank 2, there is a cylindrical first partition body (hereinafter referred to as an inner partition body) 20 on the inner diameter side, with the evaporation pipe 4 sandwiched therebetween and with a substantially equal gap L 2 therebetween. , a cylindrical second partition body (hereinafter referred to as the outer partition body) 21 is provided on the outer diameter side, and these inner partition body 20 and outer partition body 21 are connected to the evaporation tube 4 which is spirally wound. It is applied over almost the entire length of the.
【００１５】 内側仕切体２０および外側仕切体２１は、それぞれ、その下端部が貯水タンク ２の底板２ａに固着され閉鎖された状態となっているとともに、上端部は前記貯 水タンク２の上板２ｂとの間に間隙を保った状態で上方部まで延設されている。[0015] The inner partition body 20 and the outer partition body 21 each have a water storage tank at their lower end. It is fixed to the bottom plate 2a of 2 and is in a closed state, and the upper end is connected to the storage It extends to the upper part of the water tank 2 with a gap maintained between it and the upper plate 2b.
【００１６】 また、貯水タンク２の底部かつ内側仕切体２０と外側仕切体２１との間には、 前記給水管６の給水口１０が臨んだ状態となっているとともに、前記蒸発管４の 導入部２２が導かれた状態となっている。[0016] Moreover, at the bottom of the water storage tank 2 and between the inner partition body 20 and the outer partition body 21, The water supply port 10 of the water supply pipe 6 is facing, and the water supply port 10 of the evaporation pipe 4 is facing. The introduction section 22 is in a guided state.
【００１７】 また、図２で示すように、蒸発管４の外表面から一定の距離Ｌ1 を隔てて蓄氷 制御素子１５が設けられており、この距離Ｌ1 は前記蒸発管４と各々の仕切体２ ０，２１との距離Ｌ2 に比べＬ1 ＞Ｌ2 となる構成となっており、又、螺旋状に 巻回形成された前記蒸発管４の各々の管部４ａの間隙Ｌ0 と蒸発管４の外表面と 、蓄氷制御素子１５との距離Ｌ1 は、Ｌ0 ＞２Ｌ1 となるよう構成されている。 つぎに、上記のように構成された本考案の冷水機の取扱い手順および作用につ いて説明する。Further, as shown in FIG. 2, an ice storage control element 15 is provided at a certain distance L 1 from the outer surface of the evaporation tube 4 , and this distance L 1 is between the evaporation tube 4 and each of the ice storage control elements 15 . Compared to the distance L 2 from the partitions 20 and 21, L 1 >L 2 is established, and the gap L 0 between each tube portion 4a of the evaporation tube 4 formed in a spiral manner The distance L 1 between the outer surface of the evaporation tube 4 and the ice storage control element 15 is configured such that L 0 >2L 1 . Next, the handling procedure and operation of the water cooler of the present invention configured as described above will be explained.
【００１８】 まず、予め開閉弁９を開き給水管６より貯水タンク２内に水５を給水する。こ の際、タンクガス逃し弁８を開き貯水タンク２内の空気を逃がしながら貯水タン ク２内を水５で満した状態とし、この後、開閉弁９及びタンクガス逃し弁８を閉 じるとともに冷凍装置３を動作させる。 そして、貯水タンク２内を水５を、蒸発管４内を導通する冷媒の蒸発潜熱によ り冷却する。[0018] First, the on-off valve 9 is opened in advance and water 5 is supplied into the water storage tank 2 from the water supply pipe 6. child At this time, open the tank gas relief valve 8 and release the air inside the water storage tank 2. Fill tank 2 with water 5, then close on-off valve 9 and tank gas relief valve 8. At the same time, the refrigeration device 3 is operated. The water 5 in the water storage tank 2 is heated by the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant flowing in the evaporation pipe 4. Cool.
【００１９】 水５が充分に冷却されると蒸発管４内の外表面に氷１２が生成されて蓄氷が始 まり氷１２は成長していく。そして、氷１２は蒸発管４から一定の距離Ｌ1 まで 成長すると蓄氷制御素子１５が氷１２を検知して冷凍装置３の運転を停止し、氷 １２が蒸発管４より外表面より一定の距離Ｌ1 以上に成長しないように制御され る。When the water 5 is sufficiently cooled, ice 12 is generated on the outer surface of the evaporator tube 4, ice storage begins, and the ice 12 grows. When the ice 12 grows to a certain distance L1 from the evaporation tube 4, the ice storage control element 15 detects the ice 12 and stops the operation of the refrigeration device 3, and the ice 12 grows from the evaporation tube 4 to a certain distance L1 from the outer surface. It is controlled so that it does not grow beyond the distance L1 .
【００２０】 また、氷１２が融解すると蓄氷制御素子１５は水５を感知して再び冷凍装置３ を運転を行ない、常に一定の氷１２が蓄氷されるように冷凍装置３の運転が制御 される。[0020] Further, when the ice 12 melts, the ice storage control element 15 senses the water 5 and returns to the freezing device 3. The operation of the refrigeration device 3 is controlled so that a constant amount of ice 12 is always stored. be done.
【００２１】 前記蒸発管４をほぼ等間隙の距離Ｌ2 で挟んだ内側仕切体２０と外側仕切体２ １とはＬ1 ＞Ｌ2 となる構成となっており、氷１２は蒸発管４より外表面の一定 の距離Ｌ1 まで均等に成長するので内側仕切体２０及び外側仕切体２１には氷１ ２が完全に接触した状態まで成長することとなる。The inner partition 20 and the outer partition 21, which sandwich the evaporation tube 4 at a distance L 2 of approximately equal distance, are configured such that L 1 >L 2 , and the ice 12 is separated from the evaporation tube 4 by Since the ice 12 grows evenly up to a certain distance L 1 on the outer surface, the ice 12 grows until it is in complete contact with the inner partition 20 and the outer partition 21.
【００２２】 また、螺旋状に巻回形成された前記蒸発管４の各々の管部４ａ，４ａの間隙Ｌ0 は、Ｌ0 ＞２Ｌ1 となる構成となっており、従って、氷１２は蓄氷制御素子１ ５の距離まで成長し各々の蒸発管４に蓄氷された氷１２と氷１２との間には水を 満たした間隙Ｓが存在する。Furthermore, the gap L 0 between the tube portions 4 a and 4 a of the spirally wound evaporation tube 4 is configured such that L 0 >2L 1 , so that the ice 12 is not stored. A gap S filled with water exists between the ice 12 that has grown to the distance of the ice control element 15 and stored in each evaporator tube 4.
【００２３】 この間隙Ｓは上下面は氷１２で、左右側面は内側仕切体２０と外側仕切体２１ で包囲され螺旋状に巻回形成された前記蒸発管４に沿った間隙となり通水路２５ としての作用を行なう。[0023] This gap S has ice 12 on the top and bottom, and an inner partition 20 and an outer partition 21 on the left and right sides. A passageway 25 is formed as a gap along the evaporation tube 4 which is surrounded by a spirally wound evaporation tube 4. It acts as a.
【００２４】 この通水路２５の下端部（始端部）は給水管６の給水口１０に通じており、通 水路１７の上端部（終端部）は貯水タンク２の上板２ｂと仕切体２０，２１の上 端部の間隙部を介して貯水タンク２の中央部に通じており、水回路２６の一部を 形成することとなる。 このような状態まで氷１２が蓄氷されると冷水機の予冷の準備が完了し、冷凍 装置３の運転は停止する。[0024] The lower end (starting end) of this water passage 25 communicates with the water supply port 10 of the water supply pipe 6. The upper end (terminus) of the water channel 17 is located above the upper plate 2b of the water storage tank 2 and the partitions 20 and 21. It communicates with the center of the water storage tank 2 through the gap at the end, and connects a part of the water circuit 26. It will be formed. When the ice 12 is stored to such a state, the preparation for pre-cooling of the water chiller is completed, and the freezing starts. The operation of device 3 is stopped.
【００２５】 このように予冷準備の完了した冷水機より冷水を出水する場合、給水管６の開 閉弁９を開き給水口１０より貯水タンク２内に水５を給水する。この水５は前記 蒸発管４に沿った通水路２５の下端部より流水し螺旋状に通水路２５を流れ通水 路２５の上端部より貯水タンク２の中央部に流入される。この通水路２５は上下 面を氷１２で包囲されており、水５はこの通水路２５を流れる間に氷１２の大き な融解熱で急冷される。[0025] When discharging cold water from a water cooler that has completed pre-cooling preparations in this way, open the water supply pipe 6. The closing valve 9 is opened and water 5 is supplied into the water storage tank 2 from the water supply port 10. This water 5 is Water flows from the lower end of the water passage 25 along the evaporation pipe 4 and flows through the water passage 25 in a spiral manner. The water flows into the center of the water storage tank 2 from the upper end of the channel 25 . This water passage 25 is upper and lower The surface is surrounded by ice 12, and the water 5 absorbs the size of the ice 12 while flowing through this passageway 25. It is rapidly cooled by the heat of fusion.
【００２６】 この急冷された水５は貯水タンク２内の中央部の予め冷却されている水５と混 合されて出水管７より出水する。従って、この出水は通水路２５内で急冷された 低温の水と予め低温に予冷された貯水タンク２内の水２との混合された水となり 充分に冷却されたものとなり、多量に冷却した水５を出水することができる。[0026] This rapidly cooled water 5 is mixed with pre-cooled water 5 in the center of the water storage tank 2. The water flows out from the water outlet pipe 7. Therefore, this water was rapidly cooled in the water passage 25. The water is a mixture of low-temperature water and water 2 in the water storage tank 2 that has been pre-cooled to a low temperature. The water is sufficiently cooled, and a large amount of cooled water 5 can be discharged.
