[0002] With the improvement of the quality of life, ice machines have become an indispensable standard in shops, and families also generally choose household or small ice machines. At present, the traditional ice-making components generally include an ice tray and an ice-making surface; a curved copper tube is welded on the ice-making surface, and the copper tube is a hollow structure and covers the bottom wall of the ice tray. The copper tube forms a pipeline for the circulation of refrigerant. After the refrigerant enters the copper tube, it is conducted through the copper tube to exchange heat with the ice tray body, thereby completing ice making. Due to the limited contact area between the copper tube and the ice tray body, and the refrigerant cannot directly contact the ice tray body for heat exchange, it is easy to cause heat loss, affecting the ice-making efficiency. At the same time, the connection between the ice tray and the ice-making surface of the existing ice-making components is inconvenient and the sealing is poor.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an ice-making assembly to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The two sides of the ice tray are welded to the limit stop bars; the lower end of the connecting baffle is welded to the ice tray body, and the upper end is welded to the two ends of the ice tray.

[0007] The material of the ice tray is copper, and the ice-making surface of the ice tray is plated with a nickel layer.

[0008] The material of the ice tray body is aluminum, and the limit stop bar and the guide bar are integrally extruded with the ice tray body.

[0011] (1) The utility model is provided with limit stop bars and connecting baffles on both sides and both ends of the ice tray body, respectively, and a mounting area is formed by the limit stop bars and the connecting baffles, thereby facilitating the installation of the ice tray. At the same time, guide bars are arranged on the ice tray body at intervals and staggered positions, and an S-shaped refrigerant channel is formed between the guide bars and the connecting baffles, which replaces the original copper tube setting, thereby increasing the contact area between the refrigerant channel and the ice tray as much as possible, thereby improving the ice making efficiency.

[0012] (2) The two sides of the ice tray of the utility model are welded to the limit stop bars, the lower end of the connecting baffle is welded to the ice tray body, and the upper end is welded to the two ends of the ice tray, thereby ensuring the stability of the ice tray installation.
