Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice makers, in particular to an ice making device and an ice maker that are convenient for ice removal. Background Art

[0002] There are already ice makers on the market for making transparent spherical ice. Since spherical ice cubes are different from square ice cubes, when making spherical ice cubes, an upper hemisphere and a lower hemisphere need to be set. The two hemispheres are combined to form a spherical ice making space, and generally only one hemisphere of the upper and lower hemispheres is provided with an evaporator; when removing ice, the hemisphere provided with the evaporator melts the ice through the heat generated by the evaporator, and the spherical ice cube can quickly separate from this hemisphere; however, it is more difficult to remove ice from the other hemisphere without an evaporator, resulting in a lower ice making efficiency of the whole machine.

[0003] To solve the technical problem of difficult ice removal, the invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN102878744A discloses an ice maker, including a tray component, which includes an upper plate tray with an upper ice grid and a lower plate tray with a lower ice grid. The lower ice grid is closely attached to the upper ice grid to form a spherical ice grid; a driving unit, which is arranged on one side of the tray component and is used to provide power, and this power is used to separate one of the upper plate tray and the lower plate tray from the other; an ejecting unit, which is arranged on one side of the tray component and is used to separate the ice cubes formed inside the spherical ice grid; one of the upper plate tray and the lower plate tray moves linearly in the vertical direction through the driving unit. When removing ice in this prior art, first, the driving unit is used to separate the upper plate tray and the lower plate tray to perform the primary peeling of the spherical ice cube, and then the two ejecting units that can move up and down are used to perform the secondary peeling of the spherical ice cube inside the spherical ice grid, and the mechanical peeling of the spherical ice cube can be realized; however, the ejecting unit structure of this prior art is very complex, the cost is very high, and the spherical ice cube is peeled multiple times in a mechanical manner, which is easy to damage the spherical ice cube. Although the ice making efficiency of the whole machine can be improved, the yield rate of the spherical ice cube is not high.

[0004] Therefore, there is still room for improvement and development in the prior art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the utility model provides an ice making device and an ice maker that are convenient for ice removal, which adopt a heat exchange ice melting method to achieve the ice removal effect of spherical ice cubes, will not damage the spherical ice cubes, not only improve the ice making efficiency of the whole machine, but also improve the yield rate of spherical ice cubes, and have a simpler structure and lower cost.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution applied by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] An ice-making device facilitating ice removal includes an upper die assembly of an evaporator, on which a plurality of upper hemispherical ice cells are provided; a lower die assembly, on which a plurality of lower hemispherical ice cells are provided. The lower die assembly is rotatably connected to the upper die assembly through a rotating assembly. The lower hemispherical ice cells are in close contact with the upper hemispherical ice cells to form spherical ice-making cells; a heat exchange device is correspondingly provided outside the lower hemispherical ice cells. With such a setting, its working principle is as follows: During ice-making, the rotating assembly works to drive the lower die assembly to be in close contact with the upper die assembly of the evaporator to form spherical ice-making cells, and the ice maker transfers cold to the spherical ice-making cells to achieve ice-making; during ice removal, the reversing valve of the ice maker works to transfer heat to the upper die assembly of the evaporator, melting the ice at the contact surface between the spherical ice cubes and the upper hemispherical ice cells, realizing the separation of the spherical ice cubes from the upper hemispherical ice cells; it should be noted that since there is no evaporator in the lower hemispherical ice cells and the distance between the lower hemispherical ice cells and the evaporator is relatively far, it takes a long time for heat to transfer from the evaporator to the lower hemispherical ice cells. At this time, the spherical ice cubes will adhere to the inside of the lower hemispherical ice cells. The rotating assembly works to drive the lower die assembly to separate from the upper die assembly of the evaporator, and the heat exchange device is used to exchange heat on the outside of the lower hemispherical ice cells, so as to melt the ice at the contact surface between the spherical ice cubes and the lower hemispherical ice cells, and the spherical ice cubes fall off. It should be noted that compared with the prior art, the present utility model adopts a heat exchange ice melting method to achieve the ice removal effect of spherical ice cubes, which will not damage the spherical ice cubes, improves the overall ice-making efficiency, improves the yield rate of spherical ice cubes, and has a simpler structure and lower cost.

[0010] According to the above solution, the rotation angle of the lower die assembly relative to the upper die assembly of the evaporator is 0-90 degrees; with this setting, when the rotation angle of the lower die assembly relative to the upper die assembly of the evaporator is 0 degrees, the lower die assembly is in close contact with the upper die assembly of the evaporator for ice making; when the rotation angle of the lower die assembly relative to the upper die assembly of the evaporator is 90 degrees, the channel inlet of the convection channel and the water outlet pipe of the first water tank are arranged vertically corresponding to each other for ice removal. Preferably, the aperture of the channel inlet is larger than that of the water outlet pipe, so as to ensure that the channel inlet can fully receive the water discharged from the water outlet pipe, avoid water loss, and have a better scouring effect on the convection channel.

[0011] According to the above solution, the rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft and a driving assembly. The upper die assembly of the evaporator is hinged to the rotating shaft, and the lower die assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the driving assembly. With this setting, the driving assembly drives the rotating shaft to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the lower die assembly to rotate synchronously, and further realize the control of the close contact or separation between the lower die assembly and the upper die assembly of the evaporator.

The second water tank is arranged below the lower die assembly, and an ice receiving basket is arranged in the second water tank; a first water pump assembly is arranged between the opening of the second water tank and the first water tank. With this setting, the ice shed from the lower die assembly can directly fall into the ice receiving basket under the action of gravity, and the water discharged from the channel outlet of the convection channel can fall into the second water tank. Under the action of the first water pump assembly, the water in the second water tank is pumped into the first water tank for storage, forming a water flow circulation loop.

[0013] According to the above solution, the channel inlet and the water outlet pipe are connected by a water pipe. With this setting, water loss can be avoided.

[0014] According to the above solution, a first water pump assembly is arranged between the second water tank and the channel inlet. With this setting, during ice removal, the water in the second water tank is directly pumped into the convection channel by the first water pump assembly to scour the outer wall of the lower hemisphere ice, and is discharged back into the second water tank through the channel outlet.
