Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making equipment, in particular to an integrated ice tray. Background Art

[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. The current ice machines have the problem of slow ice making speed. The main problem is that the evaporation area of ​​the ice tray is small. At the same time, in order to facilitate ice removal, the existing ice trays are installed with fins in an inclined manner. However, the inclined installation of fins will lead to poor water flow effect. In the first 5 minutes or so of ice making, water cannot flow through the ice tray, and the ice making effect is poor.

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

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: an integrated ice tray, comprising an ice tray body; the ice tray body has a cavity for refrigerant to flow into; a refrigerant flow channel is formed in the cavity through a partition and a cover plate arranged at both ends of the ice tray body, and an ice-making area is surrounded by the cover plate and two side walls of the ice tray body; a plurality of ice-making grids are formed in the ice-making area through transverse fins and longitudinal fins; the width of the refrigerant flow channel is greater than or equal to the longitudinal length of the ice-making grid; both side walls of the transverse fins are arranged to be inclined surfaces with an angle greater than 90° with the bottom surface of the ice-making area.

[0006] The ice tray body and the transverse fins are integrally extruded.

[0007] The cover plate is welded to the ends of the two side walls of the ice tray body and the ends of the transverse fins.

[0008] The two ends of the longitudinal fins are connected to the two side walls of the ice tray body by welding, and the contact points of the longitudinal fins and the transverse fins are connected by welding.

[0009] The surface of the ice tray is provided with an oxide film by anodization.

[0010] The material of the ice tray body is aluminum.

[0011] An inlet joint and an outlet joint communicating with the refrigerant flow channel are respectively arranged at the back of the ice tray body corresponding to the inlet and the outlet of the refrigerant flow channel.

[0012] The inner wall surfaces of the two side walls of the ice tray body are both arranged to be inclined surfaces with an angle greater than 90° with the bottom surface of the ice making area.

[0013] By adopting the above technical scheme, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: (1) The utility model makes the width of the refrigerant flow channel greater than or equal to the longitudinal length of the ice-making grid, thereby increasing the contact area between the refrigerant flow channel and the ice-making grid, thereby improving the refrigeration effect. At the same time, since the two side walls of the transverse fins are both arranged to be inclined surfaces with an angle greater than 90° with the bottom surface of the ice-making area, when making ice, the water flow is smoother and easier to be adsorbed in the ice-making grid, thereby improving the ice-making effect, and the phenomenon that the water flow cannot flow through the ice tray in the first 5 minutes or so of ice-making will not occur.

[0014] (2) The ice tray body and the transverse fins of the utility model are extruded as a whole, which ensures that the ice tray body has good thermal conductivity and a better ice-making effect.

[0015] (3) The cover plate of the utility model is welded to the ends of the two side walls of the ice tray body and the ends of the transverse fins, thereby ensuring the sealing between the cover plate and the ice tray body.

[0016] (4) The surface of the ice tray of the utility model has an oxide film through anodization, and the ice cubes produced can meet the food grade quality requirements. At the same time, the ice tray body is not easily oxidized.

[0017] (5) The material of the ice tray body of the utility model is aluminum, which is not only easy to shape but also has low cost.

[0018] (6) The utility model is provided with an inlet joint and an outlet joint to facilitate the access of the refrigerant.

[0019] (7) The inner wall surfaces of both side walls of the ice tray body of the utility model are both arranged to be inclined surfaces with an angle greater than 90° with the bottom surface of the ice making area, which further improves the smoothness of the water flow and facilitates ice removal.

[0025] (Example 1)

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The integrated ice tray of the present embodiment comprises an ice tray body 1; the ice tray body 1 has a cavity 2 for refrigerant to flow into; a refrigerant flow channel is formed in the cavity 2 through a partition plate 3 and a cover plate 4 arranged at both ends of the ice tray body 1, and an ice-making area is surrounded by the cover plate 4 and the two side walls of the ice tray body 1; a plurality of ice-making grids are formed in the ice-making area through transverse fins 5 and longitudinal fins 6; the width of the refrigerant flow channel is greater than or equal to the longitudinal length of the ice-making grid; both side walls of the transverse fins 5 are arranged to be inclined surfaces with an angle greater than 90° with the bottom surface of the ice-making area.

[0027] Furthermore, the ice tray body 1 and the transverse fins 5 are extruded in one piece, which not only ensures the thermal conductivity of the ice tray body 1 and the ice-making effect, but also facilitates processing.

[0028] Furthermore, the cover plate 4 is welded to the ends of the two side walls of the ice tray body 1 and the ends of the transverse fins 5, which not only ensures the sealing between the cover plate 4 and the ice tray body 1 but also facilitates processing.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation of the longitudinal fins 6, both ends of the longitudinal fins 6 are connected to the two side walls of the ice tray body 1 by welding, and the contact points of the longitudinal fins 6 and the transverse fins 5 are connected by welding.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the produced ice cubes meet the requirements of food grade, the surface of the ice making grid is provided with an oxide film through anodization, and the oxidation mold can also ensure that the ice tray body 1 will not be oxidized, thereby increasing the service life.

[0031] Furthermore, the material of the ice tray body 1 is aluminum, which not only has good heat conduction effect but also has lower cost.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the access of the refrigerant, an inlet joint 7 and an outlet joint 8 communicating with the refrigerant flow channel are respectively provided at the back of the ice tray body 1 corresponding to the inlet and outlet of the refrigerant flow channel.
