其中,在目标液体温度等于预设常温值时,选择第一加热工作模式,控制常温抽水泵530工作以将水处理模块200的常温液体通过常温流道CW输出;或者
在目标液体温度介于预设常温值与预设热温值之间时,选择第二加热工作模式,控制常温抽水泵530工作以将水处理模块200的常温液体通过常温流道CW输送至即热装置510,同时控制即热装置510工作以将常温液体加热至目标液体温度后流出;或者
在目标液体温度等于预设热温值时,选择第三加热工作模式,控制热罐抽水泵540工作以将恒温热罐520中保存的恒温液体通过热罐流道RG输出;或者
在目标液体温度高于预设热温值时,选择第四加热工作模式,控制热罐抽水泵540工作以将恒温热罐520的恒温液体通过热罐流道RG输送至即热装置510,同时控制即热装置510工作以将恒温液体加热至目标液体温度后流出。
具体地,将用户需求的液体温度大致分隔成4种应用情景,即用户需求的液体温度为预设常温值、用户需求的液体温度介于预设常温值与预设热温值之间、用户需求的液体温度为预设热温值以及用户需求的液体温度大于预设热温值这4种应用情景,如此,用户可依据自己所需的液体温度向净饮机给出相应的目标液体温度,而后通过控制器将目标液体温度分别与预设常温值、预设热温值进行比较(也即判断目标液体温度落入4种应用场景中的哪一个应用场景),最后根据比较信号选择制热模块500的相应加热工作模式,这样,不仅能够满足用户对于不同温度液体的饮用需求,而且还便于用户的使用操作,能够极大地提高用户的使用体验。此外,相较于用户手动调节液体温度,通过向控制器给予目标液体温度,而后经相应的加热工作模式制得的液体其温度也更为的精准,操作也更为地便捷。其中,目标液体温度可以为一个确切的温度值,也可以为一个温度区间;而预设常温值一般为一个既定的数值,例如25℃;具体地,目标液体温度和预设常温值可视实际的工艺需求而定,在此不做特别的限制。
具体地,由于受家庭用电的限制,即热装置510的即热加热功率普遍具有上限值(一般不大于2100W),如此,若仅采用即热装置510将来自水处理模块200的常温液体加热至沸腾,其单位时间能够处理的液体量较小(通常只有300ml左右),致使沸水较为缓慢地从净饮机的出水嘴900流出,给用户带来不好的使用体验。有鉴于此,当接收到的目标液体温度较高时(如95℃),相应选择第四加热工作模式,将恒温热罐520的恒温液体输送至即热装置510并加热至目标液体温度后流出,即通入即热装置510的就不再是常温液体,而为具有一定初始温度的恒温液体,这样,能够极大地提高即热装置510在单位时间内能够处理的液体量,从而使得从出水嘴900流出的液体流速较 为适宜,有利于提升用户的使用体验。需要说明的是,通过设置恒温热罐520将需要即热装置510加热的液体分隔成了2个温度区间,即预设常温值至预设热温值、预设热温值至液体沸腾温度,这样,当接收到的目标液体温度相对较低时(即介于预设常温值至预设热温值之间时),相应选择第二加热工作模式,将水处理模块200的常温液体输送至即热装置510并加热至目标液体温度后流出。其中,由于目标液体温度较低(即目标液体温度与预设常温值之间的差值较小),使得即热装置510在单位时间内所能处理的液体量相对较大,促使从净饮机输出的液体的流速较为适宜。
另外,当目标液体温度等于预设常温值时,相应选择第一加热工作模式,将水处理模块200的常温液体直接输出;以及当目标液体温度等于预设热温值时,相应选择第三加热工作模式,将恒温热罐520中保存的恒温液体直接输出;在这两种工作模式下,由于不需再对液体进行处理,使得液体可较为迅速地从净饮机中输出,用户的使用体感较好。
具体地,采用本案中的液体加热控制方法,能够使得净饮机的出水流速不小于600ml/min。进一步地,净饮机的出水流速还可达到不小于700ml/min。如此,使得净饮机输出的液体流速较为适宜,使用户接水时具有较好的使用体验。
另外,在本发明中,可使得给出目标液体温度的给出时间节点与净饮机的出水嘴900流出目标液体温度的液体的出水时间节点之间的时间间隔不大于1秒,这样,便于用户即时取用具有目标液体温度的液体,有利于提升用户的使用体验。
优选地,预设热温值应不小于45℃且不大于65℃。可以理解地,将预设热温值优选在此范围之内,无论是在目标液体温度介于预设常温值与预设热温值之间时,还是在目标液体温度高于预设热温值时,都能够使得即热装置510在单位时间内处理足量的液体,从而使得从净饮机输出的液体流速较为适宜,更有利于提高用户的使用体验。此外,将预设热温值设置为介于45℃至65℃之间,不仅能够较为迅速地泡开冲泡介质(例如蜂蜜),而且也不会破坏冲泡介质内的有益成分,是一个用户较为常用的使用温度,因此,将预设热温值设置为不小于45℃且不大于65℃,也便于用户使用操作。
另外,热罐抽水泵540和常温抽水泵530为变功率抽水泵。并且/或者,即热装置510为恒功率加热装置,即热装置510中的即热加热元件的加热功率不小于1500W且不大于2500W。优选地,即热加热元件的加热功率应介于1600W至2000W之间。当然,在净饮机中也可设置为热罐抽水泵540和常温抽水泵530均为恒功率抽水泵,而即热装置510为变功率加热装置等。
优选地,在即热装置510的即热进水口处设置进水温度感测元件,以对流入即热装置510的液体温度进行感测;和/或,在即热装置510的即热出水口处设置用于感测流出即热装置510的液体温度的出水温度感测元件,这样,就可实时感测即热进水口处和/或即热出水口处的液体温度,便于对净饮机的加热工作模式进行微调节。
具体地,在冬季,环境温度会远低于预设常温值(如25℃),此时,来自水处理模块200的常温液体其温度也会远低于预设常温值,若不对此常温液体进行加热处理而直接输出以供用户饮用,则用户在饮用时就会产生饮用的是低温冷水的错觉,且直饮的液体温度较低,也会给用户带去不佳的饮用体验,尤其是对于生理期的女性用户。有鉴于此,控制器进一步配置为:在第一加热工作模式下,当进水温度感测元件检测到的进水温度低于预设常温值时,控制启动即热装置510将液体加热至预设常温值后流出。
为使输出的液体温度与目标液体温度相差较小,以确保流入用户的盛液杯体中的液体温度与给出的目标液体温度相近,控制器进一步配置为:在第二加热工作模式下,将出水温度感测元件检测到的出水温度分别与目标温度上阈值和目标温度下阈值相比较,当出水温度高于目标温度上阈值时,控制调高常温抽水泵530的作业功率,当出水温度低于目标温度下阈值时,控制调降常温抽水泵530的作业功率;以及在第四加热工作模式下,将出水温度感测元件检测到的出水温度分别与目标温度上阈值和目标温度下阈值相比较,当出水温度高于目标温度上阈值时,控制调高热罐抽水泵 540的作业功率,当出水温度低于目标温度下阈值时,控制调降热罐抽水泵540的作业功率。
其中,目标温度上阈值应不大于目标液体温度的101%,目标温度下阈值应不小于目标液体温度的99%,这样,能够严格把控从出水嘴900流出的液体温度,有利于提升用户的使用体验。具体地,若给予的目标液体温度为50℃,则目标温度上阈值应不大于50.5℃,而目标温度下阈值应不小于49.5℃。
另外,恒温热罐520的外周壁围绕设置有热罐加热元件以将恒温热罐520内的液体加热至预设热温值,并且为减少热罐加热元件以及恒温热罐520的热量损失,在热罐加热元件外还包覆有热罐保温层。
优选地,恒温热罐520的热罐容积应不小于400ml且不大于800ml,如此,既能确保用户的正常饮水需求,且该恒温热罐520在机壳100内所需占用的空间也较小,使得净饮机更为的小巧紧凑。进一步地,热罐加热元件的加热功率不小于600W且不大于1000W,这样,当恒温热罐520内的恒温液体取用完后,仅需较短的时间(如2分钟左右),热罐加热元件就可将恒温热罐520内的常温液体加热至预设热温值,便于用户再次取用。
具体地,即热加热元件可以为电热管、电热膜、厚膜、线圈盘或PTC热敏电阻等,只要该即热加热元件能够对流入即热装置510的液体进行加热即可;当然,用于对恒温热罐520内的液体进行加热的热罐加热元件可以为电热管,也可以为电热膜、厚膜、线圈盘或PTC热敏电阻等其它的加热元件,在此不再一一例举。此外,在热罐加热元件外包覆的热罐保温层可以选择诸如陶瓷层、硅酸纤维层、多孔涂层或硅酸铝层等保温材料层。
另外,当用户长期不使用净饮机时,恒温热罐520内存储的恒温液体会逐渐滋生细菌而变质,若饮用则会对用户的身体产生损害,因此,优选地在恒温热罐520的底端连接有热罐排液管521以用于排净恒温热罐520内的液体,参照图15,为便于用户操作,进一步地在热罐排液管521中还设有排液电磁阀522。
优选地,参照图15,水处理模块200包括纯水水箱210,这样,就可将经滤芯层层过滤制得的纯水存储于纯水水箱210中以满足用户的大通量的需求。进一步地,为使纯水水箱210内承载的纯水能够自主地流向恒温热罐520,纯水水箱210的水箱出水口与恒温热罐520的热罐入水口相连,且水箱出水口的设置高度不低于热罐入水口的设置高度。如此,当排液电磁阀522打开时,纯水水箱210和恒温热罐520中的变质水能够通过热罐排液管521排出机外。
另外,净饮机还包括外显面板,且外显面板设有对应于不同的目标液体温度的多个水温按键,这样,用户就可通过选取外显面板上设有的水温按键以给予目标液体温度,便于用户使用操作。
本发明提供一种出水嘴900,参照图23至图25,该出水嘴900包括:顶管910,形成有沿出水方向扩径的顶管管腔;底管920,与顶管底端相连且底管底端形成有出水口921;以及汇流管930,内置于底管管腔中并形成有沿出水方向缩径的汇流管腔。
将出水嘴900应用于净饮机中,参照图14和图23,净饮机至少设有沸水出水管和常温水出水管,且热水出水管和常温水出水管均连接至出水嘴900的顶管910。
在本技术方案中,带有一定压力的液体(如沸水、常温水等)流入出水嘴900的顶管910中,且顶管管腔设置为沿出水方向扩径,如此,液体从顶管910的入水口913先通入较小管径的顶管管腔中,而后再流入较大管径的顶管管腔中,使得液体压力在该顶管管腔的扩径处突然变小,即由于顶管管腔的扩径设计,能够使流入出水嘴900的液体在该顶管管腔的扩径处泄压,进而进行汽液分离;其中,经汽液分离后得到的分离水汽可在顶管管腔内形成湍流并可来回多次地撞击顶管管腔的内周壁,使得分离水汽能够在顶管管腔的内周壁上冷凝积聚,进而沿着顶管管腔的内周壁向下流入汇流管腔中,这样,有利于避免在出水嘴900的出水口921处形成大量白色雾气并向上飘移,不仅能够大幅提升用户操作时的感官体验,而且还能够有效防止飘出的水汽(如沸水经汽液分离后得到的高温分离水汽)烫伤用户,有利于提高用户使用时的安全系数,进而提升用户的使用体验。此外, 经汽液分离后得到的分离液体也可来回多次地撞击顶管管腔的内周壁,而后沿着顶管管腔的内周壁较为平稳地向下流入汇流管腔中,使得顶管管腔还兼具有稳流的作用。
优选地,参照图23至图25,顶管910包括横向布置的初始进水管911和竖向布置的汽液分离管912,初始进水管911连接于汽液分离管912的顶部周壁,初始进水管911的管径小于汽液分离管912的管径,如此设置,当带有一定压力的液体经初始进水管911流入汽液分离管912时,液体能够在汽液分离管912内泄压,进而进行汽液分离。当然,顶管910除了可以为上述的结构之外,还可以为其它多种适当的结构,只要顶管管腔形成为沿出水方向的扩径结构即可。
进一步地,增高汽液分离管912的竖向高度,即提高了出水嘴900的入水口913的水平设置位置,使得出水嘴900的入水口913的水平设置位置不低于纯水水箱210的最高液位的水平设置高度,这样,当常温液体经初始进水管911流入汽液分离管912时,汽液分离管912内的空气能够打断水流,从而达到防虹吸的作用。
具体地,参照图24和图25,汇流管腔设置为沿出水方向缩径的结构,这样,使得汇流管930能够汇聚从顶管管腔流入的液体,有利于减小水流冲击,最终使得液体经汇流管930的底端出口931平稳且顺畅地流出。
优选地,汇流管930为多级阶梯管,参照图24至图26,上下间隔的汇流管930的顶端与顶管底端之间形成有溢流间隙X,径向间隔的汇流管930的外周壁与底管920的内周壁之间形成有环向溢流通道Y。具体地,当流入出水嘴900的液体流量较大时,会出现液体来不及从汇流管930的底端出口931流出的情形,因此,通过设置溢流间隙X以及环向溢流通道Y,使得积聚于顶管管腔和汇流管腔内的液体能够经溢流间隙X溢出并流入环向溢流通道Y,进而从出水嘴900的出水口921流出。
具体地,底管920的底部形成为由上至下渐缩的锥台状,底管920的底部内周壁设有沿周向间隔布置的多道竖向引流筋922,参照图23至图25,这样,便于汇流管930的外周壁与底管920的内周壁之间的液体沿着竖向引流筋922聚流至底管底端的出水口921,进而从出水口921向下流落至用户的盛液杯体中。此外,为分散从汇流管930的底端出口931溢出的水汽,底管920的底部周壁优选地设有镂空的排气口923。
优选地,如图1至图13所示,净饮机的机腔内设有用于制纯水的水处理模块200、用于制苏打水的制苏打模块3、用于供气至制苏打模块3的供气装置以及用于对制苏打模块3制冷的制冷装置,本发明通过对上述各模块和装置作合理布局以及联动控制,使净饮机同时具备制纯水和制苏打水功能,满足用户的多种饮用要求。
在下述的一些实施方式中,净饮机的机腔内还可设有用于制冷水的制冷模块2和用于制热水的制热模块500,使净饮机能够在用户的不同饮用要求下制不同温度的饮用水。即本发明的净饮机可集过滤、制冷、制热和制苏打等多种功能模块中的一种或几种于一体,极大地改善了用户的使用体验。
以下将解释说明制苏打模块3的基本结构以及工作原理:
制苏打模块3包括用于储存苏打水的碳化罐31,该碳化罐31上设有供纯水流入的碳化罐进水喷嘴35、供苏打水流出的碳化罐出水管36、连通供气装置的供气管32、用于维持碳化罐31内的气压稳定的泄压阀33以及用于特定情况下排水的碳化罐泄水管37。此外,碳化罐31内还设有用于实时探测罐内水温的碳化罐感温探头38以及实时探测罐内水位的碳化罐水位探头39。优选地,制冷装置包括在冷媒回路中依次设置的压缩机51、冷凝器52和盘管式蒸发器53。当然,制冷装置除了可以为压缩机制冷装置,还可以为半导体制冷装置等其它的制冷装置,在此不再一一例举。
需要说明的是,碳化罐31的罐内下方的水温是低于上方的水温的(即罐内的苏打水是根据温差分层的),而碳化罐出水管36会延伸至罐内下方以确保出水水压充足以及确保能够优先输出较低温的苏打水。因此,本发明在碳化罐31的进水口中优选安装碳化罐进水喷嘴35而不是碳化罐进水 管。这是由于从碳化罐进水喷嘴35流进碳化罐31内的水是喷洒状的,不会搅乱罐内的水所保持的温差分层状态,确保用户能够饮用水温最佳的苏打水。或者,也可采用碳化罐进水管,但优选地需要在碳化罐31中设置用于承接和缓流进水的缓流板34,即从碳化罐进水管流入的纯水会先滴落在缓流板34上,再通过缓流板34的边缘缓慢流入碳化罐31的水中。
本发明的制苏打模块3会跟随净饮机的启动而马上进入工作状态。其工作原理为:一方面,纯水会通过碳化罐进水喷嘴35喷洒至碳化罐31内,喷洒状的水滴下落时会先滴落在缓流板34上,再经过缓流板34的边缘分散且缓慢地流入至碳化罐31的原有的储水中。另一方面,供气装置(可以是内置气瓶61或外接气瓶62)持续连通供气管32以提供二氧化碳至碳化罐31内,制苏打模块3能够通过泄压阀33排走碳化罐31中过饱和气压,确保罐内气压的稳定。同时,制冷装置对碳化罐31进行冷却处理,使罐内水温保持在合适的范围内以确保二氧化碳在水中的溶解率(一般在4℃左右苏打水的口感最佳)。当用户需要饮用时,罐内的苏打水可通过碳化罐出水管36流至苏打水出水嘴出水。此外,在制苏打模块3的工作过程中,可通过碳化罐感温探头38和碳化罐水位探头39控制水温和水位,确保整个制苏打模块稳定可靠地工作。
另外,在用户使用净饮机的期间,难免会出现一些功能模块长期不使用的情况。例如,当用户长期不使用制苏打模块3时,碳化罐31中存储的苏打水会逐渐滋生细菌而变成变质水,显然,饮用变质水会极大损害用户的身体健康。特此,本发明的净饮机在碳化罐出水管36中设置常闭的苏打水路高压阀。当用户想主动排空碳化罐31中的变质水时,可通过净饮机的控制面板上的触控按键触发打开该苏打水路高压阀以排清变质水。或者,也可以在净饮机的控制器中设置相应的程序以定期排空碳化罐31中的变质水。例如,该苏打水路高压阀可设置为当触发间隔时间达到预设排空时间时控制阀门打开,即当***检测到苏打水路高压阀有一段时间(即上述的预设排空时间,根据实际情况而定)没打开过,控制器会自动控制苏打水路高压阀打开。需要说明的是,上述的苏打水路高压阀与苏打水出水嘴之间还连通有碳化罐泄水管37,在碳化罐31排变质水的过程中,苏打水路高压阀打开,苏打水出水嘴关闭,变质水可从碳化罐泄水管37排出机外。此外,还可在碳化罐31上设碳化罐泄水管37,且在碳化罐泄水管37上设置碳化罐排空开关阀。
优选地,净饮机还包括制冷模块2,且制冷模块2中的冷罐21用于向碳化罐31供水。具体地,水处理模块200的纯水水箱210中的纯水能够在供水泵的作用下经冷罐进水管23流进冷罐21中,该冷罐21中的冷罐出水管24连通碳化罐31的碳化罐进水喷嘴35以形成双罐连通水管。进一步地,该双罐连通水管可分支出连接至冷水出水嘴的冷罐出水管24。用户既能打开冷水出水嘴取冷水,又能打开苏打水出水嘴取苏打水,或者也可以将冷水出水嘴和苏打水出水嘴整合为同一出水嘴以简化出水嘴结构。此外,冷罐中21设有用于实时感测罐内温度的冷罐感温探头22和用于实时感测冷罐水位的冷罐水位探头。
本发明的净饮机的制苏打模块3还可以具有不同的结构与制冷方式,下面将列举四种不同的实施方式进行描述。但需要说明的是,该四种实施方式仅用于解释本发明,而不应被认为是对本发明的限制,即应用于净饮机中的制苏打模块3的其他结构或控制方式也应当属于本发明的考虑范围之内。
实施方式一(水处理模块200提供常温水至制苏打模块3)
如图1至图3所示,本实施方式提供了一种净饮机,该净饮机中的制苏打模块3可通过水处理模块200直接供水,属于自冷型的制苏打模块3。需要说明的是,由于从水处理模块200过滤后的纯水为常温水(大约25℃),其与苏打水口感最佳时的水温(大约4℃)之间的温差较大,因此制冷装置需要耗费不少的时间来冷却常温水。但另一方面,本实施方式中的净饮机由于省去了用于对常温水进行预冷却的装置,能够大大降低生产成本,具有较广的受众范围。其中,盘管式蒸发器53作为冷却管路盘绕于制苏打模块3的碳化罐31的外壳上以冷却罐内的苏打水。
实施方式二(制冷模块2与制苏打模块3均制冷)
如图1和图2以及图4至图9所示,本实施方式提供了一种包括制冷模块2和制苏打模块3的净饮机。在该净饮机的工作过程中,水处理模块200为制冷模块2中的冷罐21提供常温水,该冷罐21为碳化罐31提供冷水,供气装置为碳化罐31供气,制冷装置能够对冷罐21和碳化罐31同步制冷,或者,能够相互独立地制冷。
以下将分别说明本实施方式中的制苏打模块3的不同制冷方式。
图1、图2、图8以及图4至图6所示为冷罐21与碳化罐31相互独立制冷时的情况。
此时制冷装置包括在冷媒回路中依次设置的压缩机51、冷凝器52以及并列设置的第一盘管式蒸发器531和第二盘管式蒸发器532。其中,设有第一冷媒电磁阀54的第一盘管式蒸发器531作为第一冷却管路盘绕于冷罐21,设有第二冷媒电磁阀55的第二盘管式蒸发器532作为第二冷却管路盘绕于碳化罐31,且冷罐21和碳化罐31内的液体温度通过相应的第一冷媒电磁阀54和第二冷媒电磁阀55进行控制。
由上述可知,本实施方式中的制冷装置能够分别对冷罐21和碳化罐31进行独立冷却,压缩机51能够一直处于工作状态,其控制方式相对简单,且能避免碳化罐31出现过冷的情况,使用可靠性高。
图1、图2、图4、图5以及图7和图9所示为冷罐21和碳化罐31同步制冷时的情况。
此时制冷装置包括在冷媒回路中依次设置的压缩机51、冷凝器52以及盘管式蒸发器53,该盘管式蒸发器53作为同步冷却管路依次串联盘绕于冷罐21和碳化罐31。
当冷罐感温探头22感测的冷罐21的罐内温度大于冷罐温度上阈值时,净饮机的控制器控制启动压缩机51以使冷媒通过盘管式蒸发器53。并且,当冷罐感温探头22感测的冷罐21的罐内温度小于冷罐温度下阈值时,控制器控制关闭压缩机51以切断冷媒流通。
而对于碳化罐31而言,当碳化罐感温探头38感测的碳化罐31的罐内温度大于碳化罐温度上阈值时,控制器控制启动压缩机51以使冷媒通过盘管式蒸发器53。并且,当碳化罐感温探头38感测的碳化罐31的罐内温度小于碳化罐温度下阈值时,控制器控制关闭压缩机51以切断冷媒流通。
可见,在冷罐21和碳化罐31同步制冷时,制冷模块2和制苏打模块3均设有相应的两种与压缩机51的启停相关的控制程序。但这两种控制程序之间并不完全相互独立,这是由于苏打水所需的水温比冷水所需的水温要低,当压缩机51启动并开始同步冷却冷罐21和碳化罐31时,两个罐内的水温持续下降。但显而易见的是,冷罐感温探头22会先于碳化罐感温探头38将控制压缩机51关闭的信号反馈至控制器中,这就使得碳化罐31中的苏打水并未达到所需的水温即停止冷却。假若用户持续一段时间只饮用冷水而不饮用苏打水,则每当冷罐21中补充新的常温水时,控制器都会重新驱动压缩机51对冷罐21和碳化罐31进行同步冷却,此时由于碳化罐31中一直存储着未饮用的低温苏打水,其在多次冷却后温度会越来越低。当水温低于-1℃~0℃时,苏打水就会结冰,从而导致碳化罐31炸裂。
基于上述碳化罐31中可能存在的水温过冷的问题,在对冷罐21和碳化罐31同步制冷时,需要在控制器中设置相应的过冷保护程序。而在结构上,需要在碳化罐31中设置过冷排水管和用于打开和关闭该过冷排水管的过冷排水阀。
进一步地,控制器可配置为当碳化罐31的罐内温度小于碳化罐温度下阈值(优选为-1℃~0℃)时,控制打开过冷排水阀以使过冷的苏打水通过过冷排水管排出机外。并且,当碳化罐31的罐内温度不小于碳化罐温度下阈值时,控制重新关闭该过冷排水阀。
在排走过冷的苏打水后,碳化罐31会处于缺水状态。此时,可将控制器进一步配置为当碳化罐水位探头39感测的碳化罐水位小于碳化罐水位下阈值时,控制启动供水泵,从而使水处理模块200补水至冷罐21且冷罐21相应地补水至碳化罐31,并且当碳化罐水位探头39感测的碳化罐水位大于碳化罐水位上阈值时,控制器控制关闭供水泵。在该水位控制程序下,碳化罐31中的水位会逐渐恢复正常。
在上述的对碳化罐31的补水过程中,由于碳化罐31中的水温再次升高,因此控制器又会控制压缩机51重新启动以对其进行冷却。
进一步地,可将通有低温苏打水的过冷排水管作为冷却管路盘绕于净饮机内的发热装置的外壳上,即过冷排水管能够在特定的情况下充当散热装置。例如,过冷排水管可作为冷却水管盘绕于与压缩机51连接的冷凝器52上,从而能够快速带走冷凝器52的热量,实现对冷凝器52的更好的保护。并且,过冷排水管还可优选地汇流至过滤废水管中以使过冷的苏打水和废水一起排出机外,该设置能够简化净饮机的管路结构,从而节省机内空间。
实施方式三(制冷模块2制冷且制苏打模块3保温)
如图10所示,本实施方式提供了一种净饮机,该净饮机包括设置在机腔内的制苏打模块3、制冷模块2、向制冷模块2供水的水处理模块200、制冷装置以及向制苏打模块3供气的供气装置。其中,制冷装置用于对制冷模块2的冷罐21制冷,该冷罐21向制苏打模块3的碳化罐31提供冷水,且碳化罐31的外罐体设有保温层以维持罐内的苏打水的低温状态。
优选地,净饮机还包括控制器,该控制器配置为当碳化罐感温探头38感测的碳化罐31的罐内温度大于碳化罐温度上阈值时,控制打开碳化罐出水管36中的常闭的苏打水路高压阀,从而使碳化罐31排出已经长期储存的升温的苏打水。当碳化罐31中的苏打水排空后,苏打水路高压阀回复至关闭状态。
此时,碳化罐水位探头39会感测到碳化罐31处于缺水状态,即碳化罐水位小于碳化罐水位下阈值时,控制器会马上控制启动供水泵以促进水处理模块200向冷罐21中补水,紧接着冷罐21也会向碳化罐31中补水。而当碳化罐水位探头39感测的碳化罐水位大于水位上阈值时,控制器控制关闭供水泵以停止补水。
此外,当冷罐水位探头感测的冷罐水位小于冷罐水位下阈值时,控制启动供水泵以促进水处理模块200补水,且当冷罐水位探头感测的冷罐水位大于冷罐水位上阈值时,控制关闭供水泵以停止补水。
具体地,冷罐21设有冷罐泄水管25,且在冷罐泄水管25中设有冷罐排空开关阀,如此,当净饮机需要排空冷罐21中的变质水时,可控制打开冷罐排空开关阀以使冷罐21中的变质水经冷罐泄水管25排出机外。当变质水完全排空后,冷罐排空开关阀重新关闭,此时由纯水水箱210向冷罐21中补水。
优选地,冷罐泄水管25和碳化罐泄水管37分别连接于冷罐21和碳化罐31的底部,此时,冷罐21和碳化罐31中的变质水能够在水压的作用下自然流入冷罐泄水管25和碳化罐泄水管37中,并且只需打开冷罐排空开关阀和碳化罐排空开关阀即能将变质水排出机外,而无须借助额外的抽水装置,简化了整机的清洗排空结构。此外,还可通过控制器控制启停冷罐排空开关阀、碳化罐排空开关阀以及排液电磁阀522,且当其中任一阀门在预设时间间隔内未开启时,控制器配置为控制启动打开该阀门以排液,一般地,该预设时间间隔不小于5天。
本发明的净饮机可优选采用图11至图13所示的水处理模块200。该水处理模块200包括水平摆置的滤芯和固定设置的滤芯安装座20,滤芯从净饮机的机壳100的前侧横向向内插装于滤芯安装座20中,并能够横向向外抽出于滤芯安装座20以整体更换,即滤芯平行于净饮机的水平嵌入安装方向摆置。如此设置,待需更换滤芯时,用户便只需从机壳100的前侧将滤芯横向向外地从滤芯安装座20中抽出,而后再将替换的滤芯再从机壳100的前侧横向向内插装入滤芯安装座20内即可。此种滤芯的更换方式,不需将净饮机(尤指嵌入式净饮机)的整机从橱柜或墙体中抽出,也不需将滤芯安装座20与滤芯一同从机腔内抽出,就可对滤芯进行整体更换,操作简单便捷,能够极大地降低滤芯更换的繁琐程度,有利于提高用户的使用体验。此外,滤芯安装座20不随滤芯一同从机腔内抽出,即滤芯安装座20固定设置于机腔中,由此,在用户自行更换滤芯时,还能够有效避免由于用户的误操作而对滤芯安装座20上设置的管路等部件产生干涉(如碰伤管路),有利于提高整机的可 靠性和使用寿命。
具体地,上述水处理模块200还包括具有反渗透滤芯层的滤芯、设置在反渗透滤芯层的进水口上游的滤水增压泵90以及过滤后的过滤废水管,在上述实施方式中提及的过冷排水管、冷罐泄水管25、碳化罐泄水管37以及热罐排液管521可连接至过滤废水管,使过其汇流至废水一同排出机外,简化管线结构。其中,反渗透滤芯层为主要由RO膜构成的滤芯层,能够有效去除重金属离子或细菌等杂质。
优选地,参照图27至图29,在机壳100的背面板设有冷凝器散热口110’,背面板上设置有对齐叠置于冷凝器散热口110’上的冷凝器散热组件500’,冷凝器52靠近冷凝器散热口110’设置,其中,在冷凝器散热组件500’作业时,能够驱动冷凝器52周边的空气朝向冷凝器散热口110’流动,进而经该冷凝器散热口110’从背面板流出,如此,大量积聚于冷凝器52周边空气内的热量就能够随着空气朝向冷凝器散热口110’流动而移除,从而实现对冷凝器52进行风冷散热的目的,这样,有利于确保冷凝器52正常作业,进而提升冷凝器52乃至整机的使用寿命,可极大地提高用户的使用体验。另外,将冷凝器散热口110’设置于机壳100的背面板上,还能够避免抽出的热风直接流向用户所在的环境,而且还可具有较高的散热效率,可极大地提高用户的使用体验。
具体地,冷凝器散热组件500’包括风扇510’以及容置有风扇510’的筒状风道520’,参照图27至图29,风道520’的背端开口与冷凝器散热口110’相连通。进一步地,风道520’的前端与冷凝器52相连,即冷凝器散热组件500’、冷凝器52依次层叠于背面板的冷凝器散热口110’上,如此,更有利于冷凝器52周边的空气快速且顺畅地流向冷凝器散热口110’,从而大幅提升冷凝器散热组件500’对于冷凝器52的风冷散热效果。当然,冷凝器散热组件500’还可以为其它多种适当的设置方式,在此不再赘述。
优选地,为确保冷凝器52作业时散发出的热量能够被及时且迅速地排出机壳100,将冷凝器散热组件500’设置为与冷凝器52同步作业,即冷凝器52启动时,冷凝器散热组件500’作业以对冷凝器52进行强制对流散热,而当冷凝器52停止运行时,相应地风扇510’也停止旋转。
优选地,参照图1和图2,机壳100的侧面板上设有侧进风口120,和/或,机壳100的前面板的底部设有前进风口,和/或,机壳100的背面板上设有后进风口。具体地,上述的前进风口、侧进风口120和后进风口能够以不同的组合形式设置在本发明的嵌入式净饮机的机壳100上,各个进风口的具***置和个数视实际散热要求而定,并且前进风口、侧进风口120和后进风口的各种组合形式也应当属于本发明的考虑范围之内。
优选地,冷凝器散热组件500’包括贴合安装于冷凝器52上的冷凝器感温探头,如此能够较为灵敏地检测并得到冷凝器52实时温度。进一步地,风扇510’的工作转速为与冷凝器感温探头探测的冷凝器52温度呈正相关,这样,风扇510’的工作转速随着冷凝器52温度的上升而加快,反之风扇510’的工作转速也会随着冷凝器52温度的下降而减缓,有利于冷凝器52精准散热,进而可大幅降低冷凝器散热组件500’乃至整机的能耗。其中,冷凝器感温探头可以为热电偶温度传感器、也可以选择热敏电阻温度传感器等其他类型的温度传感器,在此不再一一例举。
如图17、图21和图22所示,净饮机包括具有蒸发器制冰组件的制冰模组,该蒸发器制冰组件包括制冰蒸发器1’和喷嘴水路板2’,制冰蒸发器1’向下伸出有冷凝柱11,喷嘴水路板2’设有喷嘴口,喷嘴口的喷淋水能够沿冷凝柱11流动并在冷凝柱11的外表面凝结成包绕冷凝柱11的冰柱14’。
在此制冰组件中,未采用接冰盘的方式,而采用了对制冰蒸发器1’直接喷淋方式,通过从制冰蒸发器1’伸出的冷凝柱11,起到引流作用,在制冰过程中,如图22所示,冷凝柱11上的水具有流动性,边流动边结冰,从而可确保冰块透明、硬度高,具有圆润、量可控等优点。其中,冷凝柱11优选呈短粗的子弹头状,使得形成的冰柱14’大而粗,符合使用需求。
在图21所示的具体实施方式中,喷嘴水路板2’优选为间隔设置有多个贯穿孔21’的平板,制冰蒸发器1’包括设置在喷嘴水路板2’的顶面上的蒸发器本体12’,多个冷凝柱11从蒸发器本体12’ 延伸出并分别一一对应地通过贯穿孔21’向下穿出。即制冰蒸发器1’与喷嘴水路板2’为配套组件,形成简单的插装配合方式。
更具体地,蒸发器本体12’优选为图示的U形冷却排管,多个冷凝柱11沿U形冷却排管的管路延伸方向间隔布置,喷嘴口可设置为朝向U形冷却排管和/或冷凝柱11喷淋。其中,喷嘴口设置在平板顶面时,喷淋水可通过贯穿孔21’顺着冷凝柱11表面向下流动以凝结成冰柱14’。喷嘴口设置在平板底面时,可直接喷淋在冷凝柱11表面以形成冰柱14’。其中,根据蒸发器内的流动冷媒量及其冷却效果,一分部的喷淋水冷凝结冰,一部分受冷形成冷却水下落。
喷淋水凝结成冰柱14’后,为便于脱冰,可采用振动或敲打等机械式脱冰方式及脱冰机构,但也可采用如图18所示的实施方式中的加热脱冰方式,即蒸发器制冰组件还包括用于加热冷凝柱11的脱冰发热元件3’。这种脱冰发热元件3’可以是发热丝、发热管或厚膜等,可如图所示的设置为接触蒸发器,对蒸发器进行加热。也可设置在冷凝柱11内腔。当冷凝柱11内腔通有冷媒时,脱冰发热元件3’也可包绕设置在冷凝柱11的外周壁表面上和/或外周壁的夹层中。
为控制结冰量以及保护结构装置的需要,脱冰时机较为关键。可选择地,可将制冰蒸发器1’设置为承压在喷嘴水路板2’上,喷嘴水路板2’上设有用于检测制冰蒸发器1’重量变化的称重计量元件。当称重计量元件的称重计量值大于设定称重阈值时启动以加热冷凝柱11脱冰,而在称重计量值小于设定称重阈值时关闭。这样,可实现脱冰的自动控制,便于计算制冰量等。
图19和图20完整展示了上述带冷凝柱11的制冰蒸发器1’,该制冰蒸发器1’包括不锈钢材质的冷却排管,冷凝排管内通有冷媒以使得接触冷凝排管表面的水形成接触冷却,冷却排管还设有沿管路方向依次间隔布置的多个冷凝柱11,冷凝柱11竖直向下延伸,冷凝柱11的外表面上的水能够凝结成包绕冷凝柱11的冰柱14’,如图21、图22所示。
冷凝排管弯绕形成蒸发器本体12’和冷凝柱11,冷凝排管通过制冷管路13’连接至制冷***回路中。公知的是,蒸发器为制冷***的四大件之一,蒸发器与制冷回路的连接关系为公知常识,在此不再细述。
需要注意的是,现有的冷却排管多采用铜质材料,以获得更好的导热、传冷效果。但同时,为了提高铜管的光泽度和防腐蚀性能,需要在铜管表面进行镀镍,镀镍技术一方面不环保,另一方面在使用过程中,镍离子容易析出,进而污染饮用水,一旦溶于水中镍超标,将对人体造成直接危害。因此,在本实施方式中优选地采用了不锈钢蒸发器结构。图19至图22所示的蒸发器结构与普通的铜质蒸发器相同,但替换为不锈钢材料,尤其是食品级的不锈钢304材料。不锈钢材料的导热传冷性能稍差于铜材料,但基本能满足制冰需求,而且安全性高,可取消铜镀镍工艺,提高生产效率、降低相关生产成本,提高蒸发器在使用中的卫生安全性。
如图17、图18所示,制冰模组内置于净饮机中。制冰模组包括冰罐10’,上述的蒸发器制冰组件内置于冰罐10’的罐腔中并优选地位于罐腔的顶部,罐腔隔成底部的蓄水腔20’和上部的蓄冰腔30’,蒸发器制冰组件的正下方设有接冰导引件4,接冰导引件4承接从蒸发器制冰组件下落的冰块和冰水并分别引导至蓄冰腔30’和蓄水腔20’。
这样,此制冰模组可在一个冰罐10’内通过同一蒸发器同时完成制冰和制冷水。其中,冰柱14’下落时,为承接冰块并输送至蓄冰腔30’,需要特别设置接冰导引件4。如图18所示,作为示例,其中的接冰导引件4为从冰罐10’的内壁倾斜向下地朝向蓄冰腔30’的顶沿上方伸出的倾斜滑板,冰柱14’下落至滑板后将顺溜至蓄冰腔30’内。通过调节接冰导引件4的高度,可选择性地调节对冰柱的破碎效果。同时,倾斜滑板上还可设置过水孔(未显示)和/或倾斜滑板与蓄冰腔30’的顶沿之间形成有过流间隙,这样从蒸发器制冰组件流下的冰水就可通过所述过水孔或过流间隙向下流入蓄水腔20’。
蓄冰腔30’内通常设有自动出冰装置。自动出冰装置可采用各种合适的输送带或螺带等结构和方式。在图示的优选实施方式中,自动出冰装置优选地采用螺带运输,即采用带螺旋导叶的导冰柱 5,该导冰柱5在导冰柱驱动电机6的驱动下旋转,螺旋导叶带动蓄冰腔30’底部的冰块向上移动,冰罐10’的顶部侧壁设有出冰口101’,导冰柱5倾斜设置在蓄冰腔30’的底部与出冰口101’之间并能够在导冰柱驱动电机6的驱动下将蓄冰腔30’底部的冰块输送至出冰口101’。通过适时打开出冰口101’处的出冰门组件102’,可对外输出适量的冰块。
在应用至嵌入式制冰机时,由于出冰口101’等的设置位置相对较高,螺带运输的导冰柱5的水平倾斜角度可设置较大,进而提高出冰口高度,以满足嵌入式制冰机(例如嵌入式净饮机)的高位出冰的技术要求。
在本实施方式中,制冰模组应用至嵌入式净饮机,此时由于嵌入式净饮机的安装特性,要求出水口、出冰口高度较高,常规的其他出冰装置难以满足要求。在图示的实施例中,导冰柱5的水平倾斜角可设置为50°甚至更大,从而在导冰柱斜度大幅增加时,提高出冰口高度至少100mm,以满足设计需求。
另外,本实施方式中的制冰模组还设有满冰感应***。例如,在冰罐10’的顶部设有靠近出冰口101’的出冰口温度传感器103’,此时,制冰模组的控制器可配置为在出冰口温度传感器103’的感应温度不高于冰块表面温度(例如低于零度)时发出满冰信号并控制蒸发器制冰组件停止制冰工作,以防止过量制冰,节约能耗。即,蓄冰腔30’堆积的冰块高度达到出冰口温度传感器103’的安装高度时,出冰口温度传感器103’接触到冰块并反馈满冰信号。
但进一步地,还可在进冰侧设置冰幕104’和冰幕传感器105’。如图18所示,冰幕104’为围绕该冰幕104’的顶端枢转摆动的悬垂摆动件,冰幕104’的底端悬垂至接冰导引件4的末端位置,冰幕传感器105’用于检测冰幕104’处于悬垂状态或偏摆状态。当有冰块从接冰导引件4滑落至蓄冰腔30’时,冰块撞击冰幕104’,使得冰幕104’产生钟摆式偏摆,或者当蓄冰腔30’的冰块在图中的左侧满出时,可将冰幕104’顶至偏摆状态。只有在没有任何冰块冲击或冰块顶出时,冰幕104’保持在悬垂状态。
因此,冰幕传感器105’可配置为检测到冰幕104’保持于偏摆状态时,生成进冰侧满冰信号。例如,可在冰幕104’的底端设置磁体,冰幕传感器105’用于感测磁场强度,从而可通过磁场强度阈值、磁场强度持续时间等参数设定,来判断冰幕104’处于悬垂状态或偏摆状态。
综上,更优选地,当冰幕传感器105’配置为检测到冰幕104’保持于所述偏摆状态并生成进冰侧满冰信号、出冰口温度传感器103’配置为感应温度不高于冰块表面温度并生成出冰侧满冰信号时,所述控制器可配置为:在接收到所述进冰侧满冰信号时,驱动所述导冰柱5产生搅冰动作,以将进冰侧的冰块平衡拨动至出冰侧,并且在同步或相继接收到所述进冰侧满冰信号以及所述出冰侧满冰信号时,则判断所述蓄冰腔30’处于满冰状态并控制所述蒸发器制冰组件停止制冰工作。
其中,由于喷嘴水路板2’设置在顶部,制冰模组还包括用于将蓄水腔20’的水泵送至喷嘴水路板2’的循环水泵7。冰水循环喷淋至蒸发器,有助于快速冷凝成冰。蓄水腔20’可设有各类传感器8,例如水位传感器和温度传感器等,以实时监控冰水水位和水温,从而做出相应调节控制。
此外,制冰模组还包括制冰碳化罐9,冰罐10’的顶部侧壁设有冰水出口(未显示),蓄水腔20’中的冰水可通过冰水泵40分别供应至制冰碳化罐9和冰水出口。因此,制冰模组进一步地集成有制苏打水模块,制冰碳化罐9接收蓄水腔20’的冰水和供气装置(可以是内置气瓶61或外接气瓶62)的一定压力的二氧化碳气体,从而可输出苏打水。这样,通过内置集成的制冰碳化罐9,制冰模组可集成制冷水、制冰、制苏打水三大功能。因此,在本发明的制冰模组中,制冰、制冷水、制苏打水共用一个水箱,一个蒸发器同时制冰和制冷水。制冰模组的内部结构布局紧凑、集成度高,布局合理,能够实现多种功能,节约机内的有限安装空间。
具体地在图18中,制冰蒸发器1’连接的制冷***包括外设的制冰压缩机50、制冰冷凝器、储液器等。此外,水处理模块200过滤后的纯水导入制冰模组和制热模块500中;制冰碳化罐9可内置也可外置于制冰模组,供气模块通过导气管连通制冰碳化罐9。
需要特别说明的是,根据本发明实施例中的净饮机乃至嵌入式净饮机的其它构成以及作用对于本领域的普通技术人员而言都是已知的,为了减少冗余,此处不做赘述。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本发明,凡在本发明的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
另外需要说明的是,在上述具体实施方式中所描述的各个具体技术特征,在不矛盾的情况下,可以通过任何合适的方式进行组合,为了避免不必要的重复,本发明对各种可能的组合方式不再另行说明。
此外,本发明的各种不同的实施方式之间也可以进行任意组合,只要其不违背本发明的思想,其同样应当视为本发明所公开的内容。
