[0001] The invention provides an evaporator for a flowing water ice maker, and relates to the technical field of ice makers. Background Art

[0002] An ice machine is a refrigeration machine that passes water through an evaporator, where it is cooled by the refrigerant in the refrigeration system to produce ice. Ice machines come in various types, including household, commercial, and industrial. Generally, household and commercial ice machines are categorized by their ice-making method: spray, flow, and immersion. In order to achieve smooth ice shedding and complete ice shape, the traditional water-flowing ice maker has a large limitation in its evaporator design. The traditional water-flowing ice maker is a fixed, vertical evaporator, which requires an inclined surface to make the ice cubes slide down and shed the ice. Therefore, the ice tray is not a regular cube, but a diamond-shaped cube with an inclined surface. The shape is not beautiful and irregular, and it is easy to chip and formless when shedding ice. The ice thickness cannot be large, and the maximum can only be 3x3x2CM. The thicker the ice, the less water flow can completely cover the gaps in the inclined angle, and the ice cubes produced are incomplete. In addition, the traditional ice maker evaporator also has the problem of leakage at the connection with the compressor. For this reason, the inventor proposes an evaporator for a water-flowing ice maker. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides an evaporator of a water-flowing ice maker, comprising a fixed mounting plate 1, wherein one side of the fixed mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 2 and a fixed bottom plate 6, and the other side is fixedly connected to a water storage tank 9, wherein the fixed bottom plate 6 and the water storage tank 9 are both arranged at the bottom of the fixed mounting plate 1, and the mounting bracket 2 is arranged at the top of the fixed mounting plate 1, and an electric push rod 3 is installed in the mounting bracket 2. A standard large-cube ice movable evaporator 8 is provided on the side of the fixed mounting plate 1 away from the mounting bracket 2, and an ice-making grid 13 is provided on the standard large-cube ice movable evaporator 8. The ice-making grids 13 are distributed in an array, and the ice-making grids 13 are cubes. Specifically, the ice-making grids 13 of the present invention adopt vertical and right-angled ice grids. Compared with the traditional ice-making grid 13 with an inclined surface structure, the utilization rate of the ice-making space is greatly improved, which is conducive to improving the ice-making efficiency. The ice-making grids with a vertical and right-angled design can produce ice cubes with beautiful appearance and more regular shape, which solves the problem of shapeless and missing corners of ice cubes in traditional ice-making machines.

[0021] Furthermore, the top of the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8 described in the present invention is fixedly connected to a water sprinkling pipe 12, and the bottom of the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 7, one end of the rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed mounting plate 1, and a circulating water pump 11 is provided in the water storage tank 9, and a water supply pipe 14 is connected between the circulating water pump 11 and the sprinkling pipe 12. A water inlet 15 is provided on the side of the water storage tank 9 close to the fixed mounting plate 1, and a connecting window is provided on the fixed mounting plate 1, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 3 passes through the connecting window and is connected to the rear side of the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8, and one end of the electric push rod 3 is hinged to the mounting bracket 2, and the other end is hinged to the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8. Specifically, during use, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 3 can drive the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8 to rotate around the rotating shaft 7. In the ice-making and water-flowing state during operation, the electric push rod 3 controls the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8 to remain in a vertical position, which can ensure that the water flow can cover the surface of the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8. In the ice-shedding state of the water-flowing ice maker, the electric push rod 3 controls the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8 to remain in a suitable inclined position, which facilitates the smooth removal of ice cubes.

[0022] Furthermore, the fixed base plate 6 of the present invention is provided with a refrigeration compressor 4 and a condenser 5. A throttle hose, such as a silicone hose or a retractable hydraulic hose, is connected between the condenser 5 and the movable evaporator 8 for standard large ice cubes. Specifically, by configuring the throttle hose as a silicone hose or a retractable hydraulic hose, the problem of leakage during the movable evaporator 8 for standard large ice cubes can be resolved, thereby reducing ice production costs and extending its service life.

[0023] Furthermore, in the present invention, connecting pipes are provided between the refrigeration compressor 4, the condenser 5, and the standard large ice cube movable evaporator 8. Specifically, the pipe connections between the refrigeration compressor 4, the condenser 5, and the standard large ice cube movable evaporator 8 are based on existing technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0024] Furthermore, the water inlet 15 of the present invention is provided with a water level float valve 10 on one side of the water tank 9. Specifically, when fresh water is injected into the water tank 9 through the water inlet 15, the float rises continuously as the water level rises until it reaches a certain level, at which point the valve is closed and the water tank 9 stops receiving water. As the circulating water pump 11 continuously pumps water from the water tank 9 into the water supply pipe 14, the water level drops, the float descends, and the valve opens again, thereby always maintaining sufficient water in the water tank 9.

[0025] Furthermore, the water sprinkling pipe 12 of the present invention is provided with through holes equidistantly along the axial direction, and the positions of the through holes correspond to the centers of the ice making grids 13 one by one.

[0026] Furthermore, the size of the ice making grid 13 of the present invention is 4x4x7CM. Specifically, the maximum ice making specification of the ice making grid 13 is 4x4x7CM, and the maximum thickness can be 7CM.

[0027] Working principle: When the present invention is in use, the circulating water pump 11 draws the water in the water storage tank 9 into the water supply pipe 14, and then passes into the water sprinkling pipe 12, flows downward through the through hole on the water sprinkling pipe 12, and is evenly distributed on the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8. The refrigeration mode of the refrigeration compressor 4 is started, so that the water in the ice-making grid 13 gradually condenses into ice cubes. After reaching the customized specifications, the refrigeration compressor 4 is changed to the heating mode, and the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8 is heated so that the ice cubes are evenly heated and the surrounding area of ​​the ice cubes melts slightly, making it easy to demold. The electric push rod 3 is started to push the standard large cube ice movable evaporator 8 to rotate a certain angle around the rotating shaft 7 to make it tilted. Under the action of gravity, the ice cubes naturally slide down and complete the demolding.

[0028] The present invention and its embodiments are described above. This description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the purpose of the present invention, designs structures and embodiments similar to this technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
