Description
УСТРОЙСТВО ДЛЯ ОХЛАЖДЕНИЯ НАПИТКОВ BEVERAGE COOLING DEVICE
Полезная модель относится к сфере бытовых приборов, в частности в сфере охлаждения, и может быть использована для охлаждения напитков в кафе, барах, ресторанах или в домашнем хозяйстве. The utility model relates to the field of household appliances, in particular in the field of cooling, and can be used to cool drinks in cafes, bars, restaurants or in the household.
Известно множество приборов для охлаждения напитков, в частности с использованием льда. Так, известен прибор для охлаждения кофе (https://www.amazon.eom/H 5 yperChiller-HCl-lced-Coffee-Maker/dp/B0147K0ZEY), в корпусе которого размещена «рубашка» со льдом, в которую заливается кофе для охлаждения. Такой прибор перед использованием охлаждается в морозильнике, где вода соответственно становится льдом. Такое устройство характеризуется конструкционной утилитарностью и простотой. Однако, в то же время, для охлаждения напитка необходимо предварительное охлаждение самого устройства в морозильном оборудовании, что соответственно усложняет сам процесс охлаждения напитка. Кроме этого, для охлаждения большого количества напитков такое устройство необходимо будет дополнительно охлаждать, что увеличивает общее время на охлаждение. Все упомянутые недостатки свидетельствуют об осложнениях эксплуатационных характеристик такого устройства. There are many devices for cooling drinks, in particular using ice. Thus, a device for cooling coffee is known (https: //www.amazon.eom/H 5 yperChiller-HCl-lced-Coffee-Maker / dp / B0147K0ZEY), in the case of which there is a “shirt” with ice in which coffee is poured for cooling. Such a device is cooled before use in a freezer, where water accordingly becomes ice. Such a device is characterized by structural utility and simplicity. However, at the same time, for cooling the drink, it is necessary to pre-cool the device itself in freezing equipment, which accordingly complicates the process of cooling the drink. In addition, for cooling a large number of drinks, such a device will need to be additionally cooled, which increases the total cooling time. All the aforementioned disadvantages indicate complications in the operational characteristics of such a device.
Известны система и способ непрерывного охлаждения напитка (патент США US5970732A), где в системе непрерывное охлаждение напитка обеспечивается теплообменником с щелевым испарителем, имеющего щелевые элементы для приема напитка из блока подачи напитка, а также для переноса напитка в разливное или дозировочное устройство. Элементы щелевого испарителя в теплообменнике содержат кипящий хладагент (теплоноситель) для получения пены хладагента. В жидком сепараторно-регенерационном теплообменнике пена хладагента превращается в пар хладагента и жидкость хладагента. Пар хладагента используется для охлаждения жидкости хладагента, проходящего от сепаратора жидкости конденсатора, к элементам конденсаторного испарителя. Внешние поверхности щелевых элементов расположены в прямом тепловом контакте с элементами щелевого испарителя для охлаждения напитка, проходящего через щелевые элементы. Недостатком такого устройства является его относительно усложненная конструкция, сложность изготовления элементов и применение теплоносителя в системе, свидетельствует о эксплуатационной сложности использования такого решения. A system and method for continuously cooling a beverage is known (US Pat. No. 5,970,732A), wherein continuous cooling of a beverage in a system is provided by a slit evaporator heat exchanger having slot elements for receiving a beverage from a beverage supply unit, as well as for transferring a beverage to a dispensing or dispensing device. The slit evaporator elements in the heat exchanger contain boiling refrigerant (coolant) to produce a refrigerant foam. In a liquid separator-regenerative heat exchanger, the refrigerant foam is converted into refrigerant vapor and refrigerant liquid. Refrigerant vapor is used to cool the refrigerant fluid passing from the condenser liquid separator to the elements of a condenser evaporator. The outer surfaces of the gap elements are in direct thermal contact with the elements of the gap evaporator to cool the beverage passing through the gap elements. The disadvantage of this device is its relatively complicated design, the complexity of manufacturing elements and the use of coolant in the system, indicates the operational complexity of using such a solution.
Ближайшим аналогом к заявляемому решению взят термоэлектрический блок - охладитель для напитков (патент РФ N22367854), который выполнен в виде набора
последовательно соединенных термосифонов с автономными термоэлементами, общей изоляцией и жидкостно-воздушным теплообменником. Термоэлектрические элементы соединены с жидкостным коллектором, который выполнен в виде трубы с полкой и подключен к жидкостно-воздушному теплообменнику, который продувается вентилятором. На контуре охлаждения установленный жидкостный насос. Устройство погружают в стакан с напитком. В термосифон происходит замкнутый испарительного- конденсационный цикл. Создается отрицательная разница температур между жидкостью внутри термосифона и напитком в стакане. Через стенку корпуса термосифона возникает теплообмен и происходит интенсивное охлаждение напитка. Недостатком такого устройства является его относительно усложненная конструкция, сложность изготовления элементов и применение теплоносителя (согласно примером использования - аммиак) внутри термосифона. The closest analogue to the claimed solution is taken thermoelectric unit - cooler for drinks (RF patent N22367854), which is made in the form of a set thermosiphons connected in series with autonomous thermocouples, general insulation and a liquid-air heat exchanger. Thermoelectric elements are connected to a liquid collector, which is made in the form of a pipe with a shelf and connected to a liquid-air heat exchanger, which is blown by a fan. A liquid pump is installed on the cooling circuit. The device is immersed in a glass with a drink. A closed evaporation-condensation cycle takes place in the thermosiphon. A negative temperature difference is created between the liquid inside the thermosiphon and the drink in the glass. Heat exchange occurs through the wall of the thermosiphon body and the beverage is intensively cooled. The disadvantage of this device is its relatively complicated design, the complexity of manufacturing elements and the use of a coolant (according to an example of use - ammonia) inside a thermosiphon.
В основу полезной модели поставлена задача конструкционного упрощения известного решения устройства для охлаждения напитков при одновременном обеспечении регулируемой степени охлаждения до требуемой температуры. The utility model is based on the task of structural simplification of the known solution for a device for cooling drinks while providing an adjustable degree of cooling to the desired temperature.
Для решения поставленной задачи предлагается создание такого устройства охлаждения напитков, которое содержит корпус с компрессором и трубками, который согласно заявляемой полезной модели, характеризуется тем, что компрессор выполнен безмасляным и с возможностью подачи воздуха под давлением через воздушную трубку, которая выведена к соединительной крышке, с которой соответственно выходит трубка вывода конденсата, которая заканчивается емкостью для конденсата, при этом в соединительной крышке размещен датчик температуры напитка. Дополнительно, на корпусе устройства размещена панель управления. Панель управления содержит, например, таймер и/или информационное табло, и/или кнопки включения/выключения устройства. To solve this problem, it is proposed to create such a device for cooling drinks, which contains a housing with a compressor and tubes, which, according to the claimed utility model, is characterized by the fact that the compressor is oil-free and with the possibility of supplying air under pressure through an air tube that is led to the connecting cover, with which accordingly leaves the condensate outlet pipe, which ends with a condensate tank, while the temperature sensor of the drink is placed in the connection cover. Additionally, a control panel is located on the device case. The control panel contains, for example, a timer and / or information board, and / or device on / off buttons.
Сведения, подтверждающие осуществление заявляемого решения: Заявляемое Information confirming the implementation of the proposed decision:
устройство для охлаждения напитков, иллюстрируется схематически на чертеже (Фиг.1), где: a device for cooling drinks is illustrated schematically in the drawing (Figure 1), where:
1 - корпус; 1 - case;
2 - компрессор; 2 - compressor;

4 - соединительная крышка; 4 - a connecting cover;
5 - трубка вывода конденсата;
6 - емкость для конденсата. 5 - condensate outlet pipe; 6 - condensate tank.
Датчик температуры напитка и панель управления на чертеже не приведены. The beverage temperature sensor and control panel are not shown in the drawing.
Путем подачи воздуха под давлением из безмасляного компрессора к стакану, который вкручивается (вставляется) в соединительную крышку, происходит процесс охлаждения напитка, что свидетельствует об упрощении конструкции устройства и, соответственно, достижения заданного технического результата. By supplying air under pressure from an oil-free compressor to the glass, which is screwed (inserted) into the connecting cover, the process of cooling the drink occurs, which indicates a simplification of the design of the device and, accordingly, achieving the desired technical result.
Принцип работы устройства. В корпусе 1 устройства путем подключения к электропитанию запускают компрессор 2 (безмасляной), нагнетающий воздух под давлением через воздушную трубку 3 к соединительной крышке 4, к которой присоединен стакан с горячим напитком. В результате теплообмена между холодным / прохладным воздухом и горячим напитком, а также испарения напитка на стенке соединительной крышки образуется конденсат, который под давлением нагнетаемого воздуха выводится к емкости для конденсата 6. Датчик температуры размещен в соединительной крышке и определяет температуру напитка, после чего на таймере может указываться необходимая для охлаждения температура. После того, как напиток охладился до нужной температуры, таймер отключается самостоятельно или его можно отключить вручную. Воздушная трубка 3 и трубка вывода конденсата 5 содержат фильтры, предотвращающие попадание возможных примесей из воздуха/емкости для конденсата в напиток.
The principle of operation of the device. In the housing 1 of the device, by connecting to the power supply, a compressor 2 (oil-free) is launched, forcing air under pressure through the air tube 3 to the connecting cover 4, to which the glass with a hot drink is attached. As a result of heat exchange between cold / cool air and a hot drink, as well as evaporation of the drink, condensate forms on the wall of the connecting cover, which is discharged to the condensate tank under the pressure of the injected air 6. The temperature sensor is located in the connecting cover and detects the temperature of the drink, and then on the timer the temperature required for cooling may be indicated. After the drink has cooled to the desired temperature, the timer turns off independently or it can be turned off manually. The air tube 3 and the condensate outlet pipe 5 contain filters to prevent possible impurities from the air / condensate tank from entering the beverage.
