Abstract

This application relates to a refrigeration module and an ice maker. The refrigeration module includes: a support frame with a water inlet chamber at its top; a water distribution unit disposed at the top of the support frame and located on one side of the water inlet chamber; and an evaporator assembly mounted on the support frame and located below the water distribution unit.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration technology, and in particular to a refrigeration module and an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that produces ice by cooling water through an evaporator with a refrigerant in a refrigeration system. Ice makers come in various forms, and can be categorized by purpose as household, commercial, and industrial ice makers. They can also be classified by ice-making method as spray ice makers, flow-through ice makers, and immersion ice makers, among others.

[0003] Water-flow ice makers use a pump to supply water to pipes, and a water distribution device divides the water into multiple fine streams that flow into ice trays. Refrigerant then cools the ice trays, causing the water inside to freeze. However, existing water distribution devices, due to structural defects, still suffer from uneven water distribution, resulting in ice cubes with irregular shapes and uneven thickness, thus affecting the ice-making effect and quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a refrigeration module and an ice maker to address the problems of irregular shape and uneven thickness of ice produced by ice makers.

[0005] A cooling module, comprising:

[0006] A support frame, the top of which has a water inlet cavity;

[0007] A water distribution unit is located at the top of the bracket and on one side of the water inlet chamber; and

[0008] An evaporator assembly is mounted on the bracket and located below the water distribution unit;

[0009] The water distribution unit includes multiple water distribution channels that connect the water inlet chamber and the evaporator assembly respectively, and at least a portion of the water distribution channels are bent and extended.

[0010] In one embodiment, the evaporator assembly includes multiple sets of evaporation chambers arranged sequentially along a first horizontal direction, all of the water distribution channels are arranged sequentially along the first horizontal direction, and each water distribution channel bends and extends in a second horizontal direction intersecting the first horizontal direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, the water distribution unit includes:

[0012] The water distribution cover has multiple water distribution holes on one side facing the water inlet chamber, and all the water distribution holes are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction; and

[0013] Multiple water distribution plates are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction and are disposed inside the water distribution cover. All the water distribution plates in each group of water distribution plates are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction, and each group of water distribution plates forms a water distribution channel.

[0014] In one embodiment, a portion of the water-dividing plate has a blocking portion protruding from one end in the first horizontal direction.

[0015] In one embodiment, the water inlet chamber has a water inlet hole on the side wall away from the water distribution unit, and the refrigeration module further includes a first diversion unit, which is located in the water inlet chamber and connected to the water inlet hole. The first diversion unit has multiple staggered diversion channels.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first diversion unit includes a plurality of first diversion channels, a plurality of second diversion channels, and a plurality of third diversion channels, wherein the first diversion channels, the second diversion channels, and the third diversion channels are perpendicular to each other.

[0017] In one embodiment, the refrigeration module further includes a second diversion unit, which is located at the outlet end of all the water diversion channels and has multiple diversion holes.

[0018] In one embodiment, from one end near the water inlet chamber to the other end away from the water inlet chamber, the end face of the bracket facing the water distribution unit extends downward at an angle toward the evaporator assembly.

[0019] In one embodiment, the end face of the evaporator assembly facing away from the water inlet chamber protrudes from the end face of the water distribution unit facing away from the water inlet chamber.

[0020] An ice maker, comprising the aforementioned refrigeration module.

[0021] In the aforementioned refrigeration module, the water in the inlet chamber flows into the evaporator assembly after being diverted by the water distribution channel of the water distribution unit. Since the water distribution unit includes multiple water distribution channels and at least some of the water distribution channels are bent and extended, the water flow to the evaporator assembly can be evenly distributed, effectively controlling the flow rate of the water to the evaporator assembly. This results in the ice blocks produced in the evaporator assembly having regular shapes and uniform thickness, and having good ice-making effect and ice-making quality. Attached Figure Description

[0038] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a refrigeration module according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of a cooling module according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 An exploded view of an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0039] One embodiment of this application provides an ice maker, including a compressor and a refrigeration module 100. The compressor is connected to the refrigeration module 100 through a refrigerant pipe and is used to transfer a cold source to the refrigeration module 100, so that the water in the refrigeration module 100 freezes and gradually forms ice blocks, thereby achieving the purpose of ice making.

[0040] The refrigeration module 100 includes a support 10, an evaporator assembly 30, and a water distribution unit 20. The support 10 has a water inlet cavity 12a at its top. The water distribution unit 20 is located at the top of the support 10 and on one side of the water inlet cavity 12a. The water distribution unit 20 includes multiple water distribution channels 20a, at least some of which are bent and extended. Each water distribution channel 20a connects the water inlet cavity 12a to the evaporator assembly 30. The evaporator assembly 30 is mounted on the support 10 and located below the water distribution unit 20.

[0041] Thus, the water in the inlet chamber 12a flows into the evaporator assembly 30 after being diverted by the water distribution channel 20a of the water distribution unit 20. Since the water distribution unit 20 includes multiple water distribution channels 20a and at least some of the water distribution channels 20a are bent and extended, the water flow to the evaporator assembly 30 can be evenly distributed, effectively controlling the flow rate of the water to the evaporator assembly 30. This results in the ice blocks produced in the evaporator assembly 30 having regular shapes and uniform thickness, with good ice-making effect and ice-making quality.

[0042] Specifically, the stent 10 has a relatively flat shell-like structure, and the length direction of the stent 10 is defined as the first horizontal direction (i.e., Figure 1 The thickness direction of the support 10 is the second horizontal direction (i.e., the X direction in the X direction). Figure 2 The Y-direction of the bracket 10 is vertical (i.e., the height direction of the bracket 10 is vertical). Figure 1In the Z direction), the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the vertical direction intersect each other in pairs. As a preferred real-time method, the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the vertical direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs. The support 10 has a receiving cavity 10a for accommodating the evaporator assembly 30 on one side in the second horizontal direction. The receiving cavity 10a has a cavity bottom wall perpendicular to the second horizontal direction and a cavity side wall surrounding the cavity bottom wall in the circumferential direction.

[0043] The evaporator assembly 30 is generally flat and is embedded in the receiving cavity 10a of the support 10. The thickness direction of the evaporator assembly 30 is parallel to the second horizontal direction, the length direction of the evaporator assembly 30 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, and the width direction of the evaporator assembly 30 is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0044] The evaporator assembly 30 has a refrigerant flow pipe 32 on the side facing the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 10a in the second horizontal direction, allowing external refrigerant to enter the refrigerant flow pipe 32 to cool the evaporator assembly 30. The evaporator assembly 30 also has multiple sets of evaporating chambers 34 arranged sequentially along the first horizontal direction on the side facing away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 10a in the second horizontal direction. Each set of evaporating chambers 34 includes multiple evaporating chambers 34, and all evaporating chambers 34 in the same set are arranged sequentially in the vertical direction. Each evaporating chamber 34 has an open end facing away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 10a, allowing water to freeze and form ice blocks within the evaporating chamber 34.

[0045] A water inlet 12 protrudes from the top of the support 10 on the side away from the evaporator assembly 30 in the second horizontal direction. A water inlet cavity 12a is formed within the water inlet 12, extending along the first horizontal direction from one end of the support 10 to the other end. An opening extending along the first horizontal direction is provided on the side of the water inlet cavity 12a facing the water distribution unit 20, and a water inlet hole 12b is provided at the middle position of the cavity wall on the side of the water inlet cavity 12a facing away from the water distribution unit 20. Thus, water can flow into the water inlet cavity 12a from the water inlet hole 12b, and then be diverted to both sides along the first horizontal direction and enter the water distribution unit 20.

[0046] Please combine Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a water distribution unit according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 5 To illustrate another structural view of the water distribution unit according to an embodiment of this application, Figure 6 This paper shows a schematic diagram of the water distribution unit of one embodiment of the present application from another angle.

[0047] Specifically, the water distribution unit 20 is generally elongated and includes a water distribution cover 21 and multiple water distribution plates 23 disposed within the water distribution cover 21.

[0048] The water distribution cover 21 extends from one end of the bracket 10 to the other end of the bracket 10 along the first horizontal direction. The water distribution cover 21 includes a top plate 216, a first side plate 212, and a second side plate 214. The first side plate 212 and the second side plate 214 are spaced apart in the second horizontal direction, and the first side plate 212 is located on the side of the second side plate 214 that is close to the water inlet cavity 12a. The top plate 216 is connected to the end of the first side plate 212 and the second side plate 214 that is away from the bracket 10.

[0049] Furthermore, the first side plate 212 of the water distribution cover 21 facing the water inlet chamber 12a has a plurality of water distribution holes 212a. All water distribution holes 212a are arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction, and each water distribution hole 212a is connected to the water inlet chamber 12a. Water in the water inlet chamber 12a can enter the water distribution cover 21 evenly through the water distribution holes 212a. As a preferred embodiment, the first side plate 212 has two sets of water distribution holes 212a. The two sets of water distribution holes 212a are located on both sides of the water inlet hole 12b of the water inlet chamber 12a in the first horizontal direction, so the water in the water inlet chamber 12a is diverted to both sides to enter the water distribution cover 21.

[0050] Each water distribution plate 23 is arranged at intervals along a first horizontal direction, and all water distribution plates 23 in each group of water distribution plates 23 are arranged at intervals along a second horizontal direction, with each group of water distribution plates 23 forming a water distribution channel 20a. Thus, all water distribution channels 20a are arranged sequentially along the first horizontal direction, and each water distribution channel 20a extends in a bent manner in the second horizontal direction. Furthermore, some water distribution plates 23 have a protruding blocking portion 25 at one end in the first horizontal direction. The blocking portion 25 serves to block and change the direction of water flow, thereby forming a bent and extended water distribution channel 20a.

[0051] Specifically, in some embodiments, each water-dividing plate 23 is generally a rectangular sheet structure. The thickness direction of the water-dividing plate 23 is parallel to the second horizontal direction, the length direction of the water-dividing plate 23 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, the width direction of the water-dividing plate 23 is parallel to the vertical direction, and one side of the water-dividing plate 23 in the width direction is connected to the top plate 216 of the water-dividing cover 21.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, each water distribution plate 23 includes a first water distribution plate 23a, a second water distribution plate 23b, and a third water distribution plate 23c. The first water distribution plate 23a, the second water distribution plate 23b, and the third water distribution plate 23c are arranged sequentially at intervals along a second horizontal direction, with the first water distribution plate 23a close to the first side plate 212 and the third water distribution plate 23c close to the second side plate 214. A blocking portion 25 protrudes from one end of the second water distribution plate 23b in the first horizontal direction, and the blocking portion 25 is connected to one end of the first water distribution plate 23a and the third water distribution plate 23c of another water distribution plate 23 arranged adjacent to it in the first horizontal direction on opposite sides in the second horizontal direction, and there is a gap between the blocking portion 25 and the second water distribution plate 23b of the group.

[0053] Thus, the water flowing into the water distribution shell from the water distribution hole 212a first passes through the gap between the two first water distribution plates 23a spaced apart in the first horizontal direction. Then, due to the obstruction of the blocking part 25 of the second water distribution plate 23b, it flows away from the blocking part 25 in the second horizontal direction. After passing through the gap between the second water distribution plate 23b and the blocking part 25 of another adjacent second water distribution plate 23b, it flows in the opposite direction in the second horizontal direction again due to the obstruction of the blocking part 25. Finally, it flows out through the gap between two adjacent third water distribution plates 23c. It can be seen that the water distribution unit 20 forms a labyrinth-shaped water distribution channel 20a through multiple water distribution plates 23. The water flows in a tortuous manner in the water distribution unit 20, so that the size of the water flowing out of the water distribution unit 20 is evenly distributed in the first horizontal direction, and the flow velocity of the water is effectively controlled.

[0054] Please combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first diversion unit according to an embodiment of this application is shown. In some embodiments, the refrigeration module 100 further includes a first diversion unit 40, which is located in the water inlet chamber 12a and connected to the water inlet hole 12b. The first diversion channel 40a has multiple staggered diversion channels. In this way, the water flowing in through the water inlet hole 12b is diverted by the first diversion unit 40, thereby making the water flow evenly to the water distribution unit 20, solving the problem that the water flow velocity is high on both sides in the first horizontal direction and low in the middle due to the high water inlet pressure.

[0055] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first diversion unit 40 has a cubic structure. The length direction of the first diversion unit 40 is parallel to the first horizontal direction, the width direction of the second diversion unit 40 is parallel to the second horizontal direction, and the height direction of the third diversion unit is parallel to the vertical direction. The first diversion unit 40 includes a plurality of first diversion channels 40a, a plurality of second diversion channels 40b, and a plurality of third diversion channels 40c. The first diversion channels 40a pass through opposite sides of the first diversion unit 40 along the first horizontal direction, the second diversion channels 40b pass through opposite sides of the first diversion unit 40 along the second horizontal direction, and the third diversion channels 40c pass through opposite sides of the first diversion unit 40 along the vertical direction. The first diversion channels 40a, second diversion channels 40b, and third diversion channels 40c are perpendicular to each other and intersect each other.

[0056] Thus, water flowing into the first diversion unit 40 from the inlet 12b can flow out from all directions through the first diversion channel 40a, the second diversion channel 40b, and the third diversion channel 40c, thereby balancing the water pressure at various points. It is understood that the number and arrangement of the diversion channels are not limited to this and can be configured as needed to meet different diversion requirements.

[0057] Please combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of a second diversion unit according to an embodiment of this application is shown. In some embodiments, the refrigeration module 100 further includes a second diversion unit 50, which is disposed at the end of all water diversion channels 20a, and has a plurality of diversion holes 50a. Specifically, in one embodiment, a connecting groove is provided at one end of the second side plate 214 of the water diversion unit 20 connected to the housing, and the plurality of connecting grooves are spaced apart along a first horizontal direction. The second diversion unit 50 is attached to the side of the second side plate 214 facing the first side plate 212 and is correspondingly disposed with the connecting grooves in a second horizontal direction. The second diversion unit 50 has an elongated structure, with its length direction parallel to the first horizontal direction, its width direction parallel to the vertical direction, and its thickness direction parallel to the second horizontal direction. The diversion holes 50a are arranged in a matrix, and each diversion hole 50a penetrates the second diversion unit 50 along the second horizontal direction.

[0058] In some embodiments, from one end near the water inlet chamber 12a to the other end away from the water inlet chamber 12a, the end face of the support 10 facing the water distribution unit 20 extends downward toward the evaporator assembly 30 at an angle, and in the first horizontal direction, the end face of the evaporator assembly 30 facing away from the water inlet chamber 12a protrudes from the end face of the water distribution unit 20 facing away from the water inlet chamber 12a, thereby facilitating the flow of water in the water distribution unit 20 to the evaporator assembly 30.

[0059] In some embodiments, the refrigeration module 100 further includes a water tank 60 located below the support 10. The water tank 60 stores water supplied by an external water source and simultaneously collects water flowing down from the evaporator assembly 30. The water tank 60 is connected to the water inlet 12b of the support 10 via a pipe. Water in the water tank 60 is pumped through the pipe into the water inlet 12b and then flows into the water inlet chamber 12a. The water flowing into the water inlet chamber 12a is then successively diverted by the first diversion unit 40, the water distribution unit 20, and the second diversion unit 50 before flowing into the respective evaporation chambers 34 of the evaporator assembly 30, where it is cooled into ice by the refrigerant.

[0060] In some embodiments, the refrigeration module 100 further includes an ice-blocking strip 70, which is mounted on the bottom of the bracket 10 to be located below the evaporator assembly 30. One side of the ice-blocking strip 70 is connected to the bracket 10 and located in the water tank 60, while the other side of the ice-blocking strip 70 extends downward at an angle away from the evaporator assembly 30 until it extends out of the water tank 60. Ice blocks falling from the evaporator assembly 30 can slide down along the ice-blocking strip 70.

[0061] The aforementioned refrigeration module 100, through the arrangement of structures such as the water distribution unit 20, the first diversion unit 40, and the second diversion unit 50, allows water to flow evenly into the evaporator assembly 30 at a suitable flow rate, thereby making the formed ice blocks regular in shape and uniform in thickness, effectively preventing the formation of pits on the ice blocks, significantly improving the ice-making effect of the ice maker equipped with the covered refrigeration module 100, and optimizing the ice-making quality.

[0062] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
