Abstract

Bottle cooling machine that contains an outer casing or casing, a bezel or cover, a container of antifreeze, a coil and a cooling circuit consisting of a compressor, a battery, a fan, a circulating pump, a coil, a thermostat and a motor. A coil will be inserted into the antifreeze liquid container that will be attached to the refrigeration circuit. This coil will reach temperatures up to -70 ° C and transmit that temperature to the antifreeze liquid. When we insert a bottle in this liquid it will lower its temperature to 0 ° C in a matter of 2 minutes. The bottle in said antifreeze liquid will be inserted through the electric motor with a system of shafts and pulleys.

Description

Bottle cooler

Technical sector

The invention falls within the technical sector of the industrial cold, more specifically in the refrigeration sector of products.

State of the art

Currently, the most effective method of beverage bottle refrigeration involves using the fridges, refrigerators, cameras, etc. So to get a cold drink, we have to put the products in these cameras or refrigerators and wait for the necessary time to reach the desired consumption temperature. Even the freezers, both industrial as domestic, need considerable time to lower the temperature.

It would therefore be desirable to obtain a machine. to get the temperature drop of said bottles in a relatively short time with respect to their counterparts.

For this, the present invention focuses on the exhaustive study of refrigeration components, refrigerant gases, etc. The proper coupling between them and the appropriate working regimes allow to obtain a machine with a performance so high that it allows a temperature drop of the ambient temperature up to 4 degrees in just 2
minutes

The biggest advantage of this invention is its low consumption with respect to their counterparts, comfort, release of space and immediate disposition with which its users could Have totally cold drinks.

Detailed Explanation of the Invention

The present invention relates to a machine for cooling beverage bottles in a minimum time. You could even get ice packs in just 4 minutes

This machine is composed of:

* Refrigerator equipment with freon. Said circuit refrigerator contains a compressor, a fan, the lines of suction and oil, a differential thermostat, a pump recirculation, a copper coil and a variable amount in function of the antifreeze liquid model with propylene glycol.

* Cuba continent of the coolant and the coil.

* Cover or trim.

*Electric motor.

* Continental drink sleeves.

It is about the user placing a bottle in the base that is inside the sleeve. Then Select the time on the control panel. So the engine electric will lower the bottle until it is fully inserted in the machine. When introduced, with a waterproof cloth bag in the tank that is filled with temperature antifreeze between -70ºC and + 10ºC, a temperature drop will be achieved approximately 27 ° C to 0 ° C in just 2 minutes.

* Refrigerator equipment with freon. Said circuit Fridge contains a compressor of different powers; a fan, suction and oil lines in different diameters; a differential thermostat of scale -70ºC to + 10ºC; a recirculation pump; a copper coil of diameters and different lengths and a variable amount depending on the model of antifreeze liquid with propylene glycol in different percentages in the mix.

* Cuba continent of the coolant and the coil. It will be built in thermal insulating material.

* Cover or trim. This cover will be the one house time preselection on scale, sleeves, engine Lifting and control plate.

* Electric motor for bottle lifting After the preselected time.

* Continental drink sleeves. This sleeve it will be built with a ring of rigid material to give it solidity and a waterproof cloth bag. Inserted in said sleeve will go two steel guides and a base to deposit the bottles in said base and raise or lower the bottles with the help of the guides steel.

Description of the drawings Figure 1 Top

Shape the bezel of the machine. Likewise they will be placed on it, the sleeves to introduce the bottles (1), the time control panel (2), the electric motor (3) and the over lift so that it can accommodate the engine (4).

Figure 2 Cap section plus sleeve

As we see, this piece houses the sleeve that we detail as component (5). Inserted in it we see the base (6) described above that has the function of supporting the weight of the bottles At the same time, we can see how the engine (3) transmits the movement through cylindrical steel shafts of variable thickness (7). Said movement is transmitted to the base (6) through pulleys (8) that are in contact with serrated chains (9) of different possibilities. In such a way, when the user selects a time on the cover (2), the motor (3) starts up for a set time in a sense of turn and transmit the movement to the base (6) through the axes (7) and pulleys (8). When time passes, the plate control will give the turn order in the opposite direction during the same set time thus removing the bottle from inside the machine. This sequence of times is what regulates that the base does not go down or go up too long.

Figure 3 Refrigerating equipment

In this figure we look at the components Refrigerators mentioned above. You can see the tank (10) that It will contain the antifreeze liquid. The coil (11) will get put the freon at -70ºC which will get that temperature in the antifreeze liquid and also in the drink introduced in he. We get this temperature thanks to the action mainly of the compressor (12), battery (13) and fan (14).

The recirculating pump (15) will have the function of continuously move the antifreeze liquid in order to get a uniform temperature throughout the tank. This temperature will be detected by the thermostat (16) thanks to the bulb submerged (17). This thermostat will cut off the power when the temperature achieved in the antifreeze liquid is the desired.

Embodiment

The realization of this machine will be divided into Several phases

1.- Purchase of the material for the housing (sheet metal mainly galvanized steel) and its folding and cutting with suitable machines and specialized personnel.

2.- Manufacture of moldings for PVC and manufacture of concrete molding for the model in question. After this, realization of PVC molds for tapas.

3.- Manufacture of the molds for the ring holding the bags.

4.- Manufacturing by cutting and sewing the bags in waterproof material and its fastening to the rings of subjection.

5.- Configuration and manufacturing of the plates and control circuits as well as the purchase of motors for bottle lift, bases, shafts, etc.

6.- Manufacturing similar to point 2 of the Cuba continent of antifreeze liquid.

7.- Assembly of the housing with the tank, placement of the refrigerating components such as the compressor, fan, etc. and its attachment to the base of the housing.

8.- Refrigerate the elements by copper lines of different diameters.

9.- Making the electrical connections Between compressor, fan, pump, control board, thermostat, etc.

10.- Positioning of the machine cover and connection of the motors to the control board.

11.- Finished the assembly process will be carried out the vacuum in the refrigeration circuit and then the load of refrigerant gas

12.- Finally and after checking that the pressures in the refrigeration circuit are correct, they will be placed Brand stickers, notes, and instructions.
