Description

Cooling table of beverage or liquors with improved cooling performance

The present invention relates to a cooling table for a beverage or liquor. More specifically, the beverage or liquor, which is a liquid content such as beer or cola, filled in various containers such as a cup or a bottle, is cooled to maintain an optimal state and feels the best taste. The present invention relates to a cooling table for beverages and alcoholic beverages with improved cooling performance.

In general, beverages and alcoholic beverages can be enjoyed with the optimal taste when you drink them at a cool temperature.

From this, in the past, drinks or liquor were put in a refrigerator to cool down, and then they were taken out and placed on a table. However, as the drinking time passed, the temperature of the beverage or liquor increased and the taste dropped, and thus the drink could not be optimally drinked.

So you can drink drinks or liquor in a frozen cup, but there is a limit to cooling performance.In order to reinforce this, sales places such as pubs and cafes are equipped with an ice cell that can store ice in the center of the table top. The ice cellar has a cooling table for filling beer.

By placing beer bottles and the like in the ice storage of the cooling table, a guest sitting at the periphery of the table can freely take out his or her desire from the ice storage and drink a cool beer.

However, the ice filled in the ice reservoir is at a temperature of 0 ° C., which is lower than the cooling temperature of 4 to 5 ° C., so that proper cooling is not achieved. When the ice is melted by beer and room temperature, water is generated and water gets around the beer bottle. It was uncomfortable and also hassle that often had to replenish ice in the ice cellar.

In order to alleviate this inconvenience, the cooling device-integrated cooling table of Utility Model Registration No. 280460 uses a thermoelectric cooling element to maintain a low temperature, such as beer or sashimi, using a thermoelectric cooling element. In order to properly maintain the temperature of the food that needs to be maintained, one or more holes 1, 1 ', through which cold air comes out, are provided in the upper plate 2 of the table of a general type, and are attached to the lower portion of the upper plate and the holes 1 1 ') is provided with cooling devices 3 and 3' for providing cold air.

In addition, in order to generate and supply cold air to the holes 1 and 1 ', the cooling devices 3 and 3' provide thermoelectric cooling elements in which one side of the cooling device generates heat when the opposite side of the cooling device is generated. (16), an ice sink (11) which is in contact with the thermoelectric cooling element (16) and constitutes side and bottom portions of the holes (1, 1 ') for maintaining a constant temperature with conducted cold air, and the ice Cooling means comprising a heat insulating material 12 surrounding the outside of the sink 11, heat dissipation means for dissipating heat generated by cold air supply to the outside, a controller for controlling the cooling means and the heat dissipation means and maintaining a desired temperature 19 and a case 13 for fixing and enclosing the cooling devices 3 and 3 'on a table.

However, since the conventional cooling device integrated cooling table uses a thermoelectric cooling element, it is difficult to lower or maintain the beverage or alcohol at a desired temperature because the thermoelectric cooling element does not have a large cooling capacity. It is necessary to maintain the cooling to the temperature so that the optimum taste and aroma can be enjoyed.

Therefore, in the beverage and liquor cooling table of the Utility Model No. 349540, as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, the bottle containing the beverage or liquor on one side of the table 1 on which the beverage or liquor is to be drinked (9) Cooling holder 10 is inserted into the cooling holder 10, the cooling coil 11 is wound around the lower portion of the table (1) on the outside of the cooling holder 10, the cooling holder 10 is a heat insulating material (12) The coil (4) and the condenser (6) fixed inside the leg (2) (3) of the table (1). To be connected via a cooling pipe (5), the condenser (6) is provided with a fan (7) for discharging air to the outside.

When the refrigerant cycle is operated by the controller 17, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 4 expands in the cooling coil 11 wound around the outside of the cooling holder 10 and takes away the surrounding heat. The temperature of the cooling holder 10 stored while being inserted is lowered so that the temperature of the beverage or liquor contained in the bottle 9 can be kept constant, and the cooling coil 11 winding the cooling holder 10. The refrigerant, which is expanded at and absorbs the surrounding heat, is condensed in the condenser 6 and the heat generated at this time is discharged using the fan 7.

The beverage and liquor cooling table, unlike the conventional cooling device integrated cooling table using a thermoelectric cooling element, by using the refrigerant cycle to cool the cooling holder 10 can be expected a certain cooling effect.

Here, the cooling holder 10, the cooling coil 11 is wound to the outside, the outside is wrapped with a heat insulating material 12, the table 13 while wrapping the outside of the heat insulating material 12 with a fixing body (13) It is installed by fixing it to the lower part of 1).

However, the cold air generated by the expansion of the refrigerant in the cooling coil 11 wound on the cooling holder 10 is directly transmitted to the cooling holder 10, but is directly transferred to the cooling holder 10. Since the non-contacting portion of the cold air is returned to the cooling coil 11 again by the heat insulator 12, the cold air cannot be intensively delivered to the cooling holder 10, so that the cooling rate is not fast and the desired degree of cooling can be achieved. In order to maintain the power consumption was a problem.

From this, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, in the state in which the cooling coil is wound on the outer side of the cooling holder is formed integrally by injecting a metal casting so that the cooling coil is covered with the refrigerant expands in the cooling coil It provides cooling table of beverage or liquor that improves the cooling performance to keep the optimum state by cooling the beverage or liquor inserted into the cooling holder rapidly and intensively as the generated cold air is delivered to the cooling holder at the same time. There is a purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a bottle inserted in the cooling holder while expanding the cooling coil, which is installed on the top plate and wound around the outside of the cooling holder in which a plurality of refrigerants are installed in the upper plate.

The part directly contacting with the body is directly transmitted, and even the part not directly contacting the cooling holder is made of metal. The present invention provides a cooling table of a beverage or liquor with improved cooling performance, characterized in that it is delivered through a cast solid to quickly and intensively cool the beverage or liquor inserted into the cooling holder.

Preferably, the metal casting may be an aluminum casting.

The refrigerant supply and heat dissipation unit 130 is composed of a compressor, a condenser, and a fan (not shown) driven and controlled by the controller 140, and the compressor and the condenser are connected to a cooling coil 122 and cooled. The refrigerant is compressed and supplied to the coil 22, and the refrigerant is expanded from the cooling coil 122 to condense the refrigerant absorbing the surrounding heat, and the heat generated therein is discharged to the outside through the fan.

The controller 140 compares temperature data transmitted from a control lever (not shown) and a temperature sensor (not shown) to set a temperature to adjust the temperature of the cooling unit 120. To control the operation of the refrigerant supply and the heat dissipation unit 130 to.

Although not shown in the figure, the controller 140 includes a power lamp for displaying a power supply state and an operation switch for operating the coolant supply and heat dissipation unit 130.

Operation of the cooling table of the beverage or liquor with improved cooling performance according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is as follows.

First, the upper portion of the main body portion 110 is installed in the upper corner of the cooling holder 121 of the cooling unit 120 is installed in each of the corners while maintaining a cooled state or drink, shown in Figure 6a and 6b As can be inserted, drink or liquor in the form of a cup or bottle requiring cooling.

Then, the beverage or liquor in the form of a cup or bottle inserted into the cooling holder 121 is in a state capable of receiving cold air from the side and the bottom.

Next, after plugging the power cord (not shown) provided in the main body 110 into the outlet, the user adjusts the temperature through the temperature setting control lever while turning on the operation switch installed in the controller 140 The compressor, the condenser, and the fan of the refrigerant supply and heat dissipation unit 130 installed at the lower portion of the main body unit 110 are driven from the on operation of the operation switch.

It is delivered through a solid of good aluminum casting 123.

From this, a passage for transferring cold air to the cooling holder 121 is that the cold air generated in the conventional cooling coil 122 is returned to the cooling coil 122 again by the heat insulating material and transferred to the cooling holder 121. Otherwise, by forming the cooling holder 121, the cooling coil 122 and the aluminum casting 123 integrally, the cold air generated in the cooling coil 122 by the aluminum casting 123 solid body is simultaneously expanded to the whole. While intensively delivering cold air to the cooling holder 121, the cooling speed is fast and power consumption for maintaining a desired degree of cooling can be reduced.

Therefore, the cooling holder 121 of the cooling unit 120 is inserted into the cooling holder 121 quickly and intensively at the temperature set by the temperature setting control lever to cool the beverage or liquor in contact with the side and the bottom. While maintaining the cooling state with low power consumption, such a cooling temperature is sensed by the temperature sensor and displayed through the display of the controller 140 may be visually confirmed.

On the other hand, the cup or bottle is inserted into the cooling holder 121 of the cooling unit 120 as described above, while the contents contained in the cooling state are removed. By keeping the inserted contents cool, you can always drink beverages or alcoholic beverages while maintaining the best taste until you are finished.
