Description

Rapid cooling device of a double cooling structure

The present invention relates to a rapid cooling apparatus of a dual cooling structure to which the internal circulation method of cold water to be quenched is applied, and more specifically, cold water between spaces of a cold refrigerant pipe arranged in a double structure inside a cooling tank centered on a water circulation pipe. The present invention relates to a rapid cooling device having a dual cooling structure that can be continuously contacted while being circulated.

In general, the cold water or cold and hot water is introduced into the cold water tank (water tank) or hot water tank (water tank) by the pure water (raw water) or a separate filter, and the cold water or cold water Or it is configured to be discharged in hot water.

In particular, the necessity of a cooling device to maintain and maintain the cooling state as soon as possible for the purified water stored in the cold water tank is very important. In the case of the indirect cooling method of the cooling technologies introduced so far, the refrigerant pipe is fixed to the outside of the cold water tank The water inside the cold water bath was cooled by winding it to length to serve as an evaporator.

However, this indirect cooling method has a slight increase in the amount of water in the cold water tank depending on the capacity of the reservoir as the inflow into the cold water tank increases as the outflow to the outside of the cold water tank. However, due to the indirect cooling method, there is a problem in that the variation of the water temperature occurs in the temperature of the inside and outside of the cold water tank, the top and bottom.

In addition, in the case of the direct cooling method introduced to improve the limitation of the indirect cooling method, the cooling water (cooling cylinder) in which the coolant pipe is inserted inside the cold water tank is directly purified by the cooling rod. It can be cooled by heat exchange, which can be said that the cooling efficiency is relatively higher than the indirect cooling method because all of the cooling heat transferred from the refrigerant pipe can be used unlike the indirect cooling method.

However, both of these direct and indirect cooling methods up to now, when a large amount of the cold water in the cooling water outflow within a short time, the situation is not overcome the limitation of the cooling structure that can not be lukewarm water flows out. Because there is a limit in the direct cooling function by the horizontal cooling plate protruding in a spiral multiple layers based on the central vertical cooling rod in the space of the cold water tank where water is stored.

In other words, in the past, most of them cool the water by putting or winding a refrigerant pipe inside or outside the cold water tank. In this technology level cooling device, since the cooling effect appears only at the contact point of the refrigerant pipe, the amount of cold water is structurally small. In addition, there is a limit that the time to cool the water again is long, and excessive energy is wasted, which inevitably leads to low energy efficiency.

On the other hand, in the case of Patent No. 10-0770093 (Multi-Sequential Constant Rapid Cooling Apparatus), filed and registered by the present applicant in view of such circumstances, a refrigerant tube through which a refrigerant is circulated in a cold water tank is roughly formed inside the cooling rod of the cold water tank. The cooling device is installed in the cooling device installed at a predetermined interval to distribute the water flow to the outside of the cooling rod at a predetermined interval, wherein the cooling tube in the vertical direction in which the flow path of the refrigerant is continuous and the refrigerant pipe in the vortex direction integrally And a lower end of the vortex direction refrigerant pipe of the cooling rod is integrally connected with the refrigerant pipe disposed along the separation plate outside the cooling rod.

The present applicant's prior patented technology allows the coolant tube through which the cool refrigerant is circulated to be located throughout the cooling rod and the inner space of the cold water tank, thereby directly purifying the purified water flowing into the cold water tank with the refrigerant in the coolant tube. It may be able to be rapidly cooled in a short time as it is in contact with each other, but in the case of drinking water such as beverage or lubricating water, which is not pure water, it should be able to cool it immediately and drink it. There is a limitation that it cannot be provided.

In addition, the specific means for implementing the rapid cooling technology is relatively complicated and requires a certain amount of cooling space, in particular, the rapid cooling method by the normal refrigeration cycle can be implemented only when the cooling tank is configured to supply circulation in the cold water tank. As a result, there was a need for improvement of structural limitations that the configuration itself was large and the installation place was relatively large.

Therefore, in the prior art, the circulation of cold water is continuously circulated from the outside of the cooling tank (cooling furnace) to allow cooling to rapidly cool a relatively large amount of cooling water. However, the present invention provides a narrow installation or a large amount of cooling. It is a compact and lightweight cooling technology that does not need the cooling water or drink water. It is intended to provide a new dual cooling structure rapid cooling device adopting the internal circulation method of cold water. Its purpose is to provide a rapid cooling system with a dual cooling structure that enables instant rapid cooling by allowing cold water to be continuously contacted between the spaces of the cold refrigerant pipes arranged in a double structure in the internal space of the cooling tank. .

Especially, when the installation place is narrow or when a large amount of coolant is not needed, the compact and lightweight cooling structure technology makes all the circulation inside the cooling furnace (cooling tank), which dramatically reduces the cooling efficiency due to the installation of the double refrigerant pipe. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a dual-cooling rapid cooling device having economical efficiency to lower the productivity and manufacturing labor by reducing the number of parts and further simplify the work process.

The rapid cooling device of the dual cooling structure of the present invention for achieving the above object, the cooling tank is installed on the upper side so that the cold water (cooling water) is separated from the refrigerant by default, and discharged in both directions of the circulation pump The water circulation pipe installed in the vertical direction under the circulation pump so that the cold water (cooling water) is introduced through the bottom while circulating the internal space and the internal space of the cooling tank centered on the water circulation pipe Internal and external refrigerant pipes installed in the inner space outside the water circulation pipe so that the refrigerant gas from the compressor is circulated to the compressor through the internal refrigerant pipes and through the external refrigerant pipes. And between the internal and external refrigerant pipes, and the difference between the internal and external refrigerant pipes is circulated with the cold refrigerant gas in the internal and external refrigerant pipes. It is also in contact with cold water (cooling water), the beverage tube in which the corresponding drink is rapidly cooled inside, and the cold water is supplied to the circulation pump or the cold water is directly supplied to the internal space of the cooling tank so that the internal and external refrigerant pipes of the double structure The product consists of a bottled water pipe that is heat-exchanged with cold refrigerant.

In particular, the circulation pump is configured to circulate the cooling water is supplied through the bottled water pipe connected to the bottled water bottle from the outside or to circulate the inner space of the cooling tank is filled with the bottled water directly without the supply of cold water through the bottled water pipe To achieve. In addition, the beverage tube of the beverage separately from the bottled water pipe is installed between the internal and external refrigerant pipes of the inner space of the cooling tank separately from the bottled water pipe, the technical relationship between the connection to the corresponding beverage outlet exposed to the device body outside the cooling tank It is done.

As described above, the multi-uniform uniform circulation rapid cooling apparatus of the dual cooling structure according to the present invention is configured to circulate cold water between the spaces of the cold refrigerant pipes arranged in a double structure in the internal space of the cooling tank, centering on the water circulation pipe formed in the cooling tank. It allows instant rapid cooling by allowing continuous contact. This is a technology of compact and lightweight cooling structure especially when the installation place is narrow or when a large amount of cooling water is not needed. As all circulation is performed inside the cooling furnace (cooling tank), the cooling efficiency due to the installation of the double refrigerant pipe is reduced. It is possible to increase dramatically, structurally simplify the work process, reduce the number of parts and lower productivity and manufacturing labor, there is an effect that can provide economics.

In addition, we can aim for an interior-oriented image, differentiation, and a user interface that pursues quality as a high-end product and various functions and conveniences for homes and businesses, and can pursue an aesthetic aspect and a future-oriented emotional appearance. Rather, it is expected to be used as a compact rapid cooler product that can be used in all areas of home and shop.

In addition to the basic function of cooling the beverage immediately through the beverage tube, the cooling water itself used to cool the beverage itself can be provided with various effects that can provide the cooling water drinking, which is the basic function of a conventional cooling device (cold water heater). As a result, this eliminates the hassle of refrigerating beverages in bottles, and utilizes them as a new cooling device that can conveniently and quickly drink various drinking water immediately without limiting the amount. This can be expected.

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings of the preferred embodiment attached to the configuration relationship and operation principle of the rapid cooling apparatus of the dual cooling structure of the present invention will be described in detail. In addition, specific configuration relations of the power supply unit, the control unit, and the sensing unit in the actual product to enable the rapid cooling apparatus of the present invention will be omitted for the convenience of drawing and description. In addition, in the description of the configuration of the present invention, the bottled water that is circulated into the cooling tank and heat-exchanged by the internal and external refrigerant pipes is used in combination with cold water and cooling water for convenience, and the refrigerant on the refrigeration cycle from the compressor is used as refrigerant gas. Use in combination.

For reference, the problem that all liquor and beverage companies (especially carbonated drinks) have in the world needs a suitable temperature for the unique taste of the drink, there is no way to solve it. This is possible with Hi-Penser devices that cool draft beer. But this product can only be used for business purposes.

Since a high capacity compressor is used, energy consumption is high, noise, vibration, breakdown and energy consumption are high, and no matter how compact, it is difficult to use at home. However, as in the present, fresh water or hot to lose the taste and aroma, so in some cases was forced to just use or give up.

However, the rapid cooling apparatus of the present invention applying the internal circulation method of quenched cold water is a multi-sided uniform cooling technology having a double cooling structure as a compact instantaneous cooling apparatus with high efficiency and low noise. Such a rapid cooling device of the present invention, as shown in the product illustration of Figure 2, even if 10 or more multi-coke (drainage faucet) is applied in a single rapid cooling device cooler that can have a temperature difference for each beverage Structure.

Figure 1 schematically shows the internal structure to help understand the basic operating principle of the rapid cooling apparatus of the present invention, the dual cooling structure, Figure 2 is applied to the rapid cooling apparatus of the dual cooling structure according to the present invention Instantaneous instant cold dispenser is an example.

As shown in the schematic diagram of the operation structure of FIG. 1, the rapid cooling apparatus of the internal circulation type double cooling structure in which the cooling water circulates with the cooling refrigerant gas of the present invention is basically distinguished from the cooling water (coolant water 55) separately from the refrigerant gas. It is configured as a single cooling tank 10 unit cooling apparatus provided with a circulation pump 50 on the upper side to circulate.

The cold water (cooling water) discharged in both directions through the circulation pump 50 flows through the bottom portion while circulating the internal space of the cooling tank 10 and returns to the circulation pump 50 again. Water circulation pipe 52 is installed in the vertical direction below), the inner and outer refrigerant pipe (20a) in the inner and outer double with respect to the inner space of the cooling tank 10 around the water circulation pipe (52) 20b are installed, and the internal and external refrigerant pipes 20a and 20b are, of course, the refrigerant gas on the refrigeration cycle from the compressor 60 separately installed outside the cooling tank 10. Supply flow into the internal refrigerant pipe 20a disposed in the form of a spring on the side, and then continuously supplied to the external refrigerant pipe 20b on the side wall of the cooling tank 10 which is connected to the internal refrigerant pipe 20b to form an integrated structure. Refrigerant cycle of the refrigeration cycle is fed back to the compressor 60 and circulated It forms a circular structure.

And the beverage tube 30 is installed between the internal and external refrigerant pipe (20a, 20b) and the beverage is cooled separately from the bottled water pipe 40, which is basically the internal and external refrigerant pipe (20a) (20b) Cold water (cooling water) discharged to both sides through the circulation pump 50 together with the cold refrigerant gas circulating) and the corresponding drinking water passing through the beverage pipe 30 is structurally in contact with each other and instantaneous rapid cooling is possible. Do it.

In particular, the rapid cooling device of the dual cooling structure of the present invention, without supply of bottled water (cold water) through the bottled water pipe 40 from the outside, the cold water 55 filled in the internal space of the cooling tank 10 itself circulation pump 50 2) is discharged to both sides by the supply circulation and is a double cooling method in which the cold water 55 is naturally cooled by the internal and external refrigerant pipes 20a and 20b, and is circulated. When applied to the dispenser, the beverage tube 30 and the separate bottled water pipe 40 are connected to the cooling tank 10 through the cold water outlet 42 in which the coolant 55 rapidly cooled is exposed to the main unit. Every time it is discharged, it can be supplied and replenished automatically to the said cooling tank 10.

That is, in the rapid cooling apparatus of the dual cooling structure according to the present invention, the refrigerant pipes (20a, 20b) in the single space of the internal cooling chamber 10 as a double cooling structure is extended to the internal and external double, these internal and external The beverage pipe 30 is disposed between the refrigerant pipes 20a and 20b, so that the beverage of the beverage pipe 30 is double-cooled with the internal and external refrigerant pipes 20a and 20b, as well as the cooling tank 10. Heat exchange can also be achieved by contact with the cooling water 55 circulated into the internal space. As a result, the beverage in the beverage pipe 30 is heat exchanged with the internal and external refrigerant pipes 20a and 20b of the dual cooling structure. Of course, since the heat exchange with the cooling water 55 also acts together, instantaneous rapid cooling, which can not be expected at all in the conventional rapid cooling apparatus can be surely made.

And, as described above, in order to enable the rapid cooling device of the dual cooling structure of the present invention is installed on the upper side of the cooling tank 10 so that the cold water 55 is discharged to both sides of the water circulation pipe 52 in the vertical intermediate direction The circulation pump 50 is supplied with cold water 55 through the bottled water pipe 40 connected to the bottled water bottle 44 from the outside, which is mounted to be attached to the upper side of the apparatus body, as shown in the sample diagram of the rapid cooling dispenser of FIG. 2. It is circulated, or can be appropriately applied in the cooling method that the cold water 55 is directly filled without the supply of cold water through the bottled water pipe 44 is filled in the internal space of the cooling tank 10 and circulated.
