[0027] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the disclosure clearer, a further detailed description of the disclosure will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, FIGS. 1 to 2 illustrate the first embodiment of the heat dissipation mechanism of the disclosure, which comprises a drive heat dissipation box 1 and a heat dissipation ventilation plate 2. The heat dissipation ventilation plate 2 covers an opening at one end of the cold drink dispenser. The heat dissipation ventilation plate 2 is provided with a drive heat dissipation area 3 and a refrigeration heat dissipation area 4 at intervals. The drive heat dissipation area 3 covers the motor base 5 of the cold drink dispenser, and the drive heat dissipation box 1 is installed in the motor base 5. The drive heat dissipation area 3 comprises a drive motor heat dissipation area 31 and a drive board heat dissipation area 32. The drive motor heat dissipation area 31 is arranged opposite to a motor heat dissipation fan 51 in the motor base 5 to dissipate heat from the hot air blown by the motor heat dissipation fan 51, achieving targeted heat dissipation for the motor device 52. The drive board heat dissipation area 32 is arranged opposite to the drive heat dissipation box 1 to dissipate heat emitted by the drive heat dissipation box 1, achieving targeted heat dissipation for the drive heat dissipation box 1. The refrigeration heat dissipation area 4 covers a refrigeration casing 6 of the cold drink dispenser. The refrigeration heat dissipation area 4 is arranged opposite to a condenser 61 in the refrigeration casing 6. A heat dissipation fan is provided inside the condenser 61 to send the heat emitted by the condenser 61 outwardly to the refrigeration heat dissipation area 4, achieving targeted heat dissipation for the condenser 61.

[0029] By setting corresponding heat dissipation areas in the corresponding regions of the heat dissipation ventilation plate 2, the disclosure provides targeted heat dissipation for the corresponding heat-generating areas without the need for excessive heat dissipation covers. The heat dissipation structure is simple and can also reduce the probability of external impurities and moisture entering the interior of the cold drink dispenser, improving the operational stability of electrical components and wiring and thus enhancing the stability of the device.

[0030] Among them, a drive board 11 is provided inside the drive heat dissipation box 1. One end of the drive heat dissipation box 1 is provided with a wire-passing hole 12. Multiple ventilation holes 13 are provided at intervals on the drive heat dissipation box 1, and the ventilation holes 13 are close to the drive board heat dissipation area 32. The heat inside the drive heat dissipation box 1 flows to the drive board heat dissipation area 32 through the ventilation holes 13 and is then discharged outwardly, achieving the heat dissipation function for the drive board 11.

[0031] The disclosure provides multiple ventilation holes 13 on the drive heat dissipation box 1, and the ventilation holes 13 are close to the drive board heat dissipation area 32. The ventilation holes 13 can dissipate heat from the drive board 11 in the drive heat dissipation box 1, providing excellent heat dissipation effects and preventing the drive board 11 from affecting its stable operation due to high operating temperatures, thus ensuring stable operation of the mixing function of the cold drink dispenser.

[0032] It should be noted that the main heat-generating components in the cold drink dispenser are generally the motor device 52, the drive heat dissipation box 1 for driving the motor device 52 to operate, and the condenser 61, etc. The disclosure mainly provides corresponding heat dissipation structures for the above-mentioned heat-generating components to achieve targeted heat dissipation and improve heat dissipation effects. Among them, the provided drive heat dissipation area 3 can cool the inner cavity of the motor base 5, and the provided refrigeration heat dissipation area 4 can cool the inner cavity of the refrigeration casing 6.

A first heat dissipation channel 313 is provided inside the first heat dissipation ventilation section 311, and the first heat dissipation channel 313 is connected to the first heat dissipation holes 312. When the motor heat dissipation fan 51 performs heat dissipation, the hot air extracted by it will be discharged outwardly through the first heat dissipation channel 313 and the second heat dissipation holes 321 to achieve targeted heat dissipation for the motor device 52 and improve the heat dissipation effect of the motor device 52.

A second heat dissipation channel 43 is provided inside the second heat dissipation ventilation section 41, and the second heat dissipation channel 43 is connected to the third heat dissipation holes 42. The heat emitted by the condenser 61 and the heat inside the inner cavity of the refrigeration casing 6 will be sent to the second heat dissipation channel 43 by the heat dissipation fan and then discharged outwardly through the third heat dissipation holes 42 to achieve targeted heat dissipation for the condenser 61 and the refrigeration casing 6.

[0040] To avoid external impurities easily entering the drive cavity 141, the ventilation holes 13 are in an inverted L-shape, and their air outlets are downward, effectively preventing external impurities from easily entering the drive cavity 141 horizontally and affecting the drive board 11.
