Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and more particularly to an ice weighing device and an ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of modern living standards, ice is used more and more widely. As ice-making equipment becomes more popular, people's corresponding technical requirements for ice-making equipment are also increasing. Existing ice-making machines can no longer meet the requirements of users, and ice-making machines are beginning to develop in the direction of intelligence and multi-functions. Among them, how to more accurately control the amount of ice taken by the ice-making machine after ice making is a key issue in this field; in the prior art, the amount of ice taken is generally controlled by directly controlling the on and off of the power supply. This control method is not intelligent enough, and the amount of ice taken is not accurate enough.

[0003] Ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical equipment that generates ice by cooling water through the evaporator with the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. It uses the refrigeration system and water as a carrier to make ice by passing through a certain device under power-on state. The shape of the ice cubes generated is different according to the principle and production method of the evaporator. People generally classify ice makers into granular ice machines, flake ice machines, plate ice machines, tube ice machines, shell ice machines, etc. according to the shape of ice.

[0004] Figure 1 The ice maker disclosed in Chinese patent number CN201310006582.X includes an ice maker 1, a base 100, a receiving chamber 110, an ice making grid 200, a water filling door 300, a water filling slot 310, a water filling port 320, a rotating shaft 340, a door handle 350, a first suction member 360, an ice receiving box 400, a knob 500, and a bracket 600. The working principle of the ice maker includes: the ice receiving box 400 is located below the ice making grid 200, and the ice receiving box 400 can be movably arranged in the receiving chamber 110 between a receiving position for receiving ice cubes and a taking-out position for taking out ice cubes. When the user needs to take ice, the ice receiving box 400 can be moved from the receiving position to the taking-out position, and the ice receiving box 400 can be moved from the taking-out position to the receiving position after taking out the ice cubes in the ice receiving box 400. The base 100 may be provided with a knob 500, which may be connected to the ice tray 200 so that the knob 500 can twist and squeeze the ice tray 200. By providing the knob 500, the ice tray 200 can be twisted and squeezed by the knob 500 after ice making is completed, so that the ice cubes in the ice tray 200 can be separated from the ice tray 200 and fall into the ice receiving box 400.

[0005] In combination with the above structure, the ice cubes in the ice cube tray 200 are all dropped into the ice box 400 by rotating the ice cube tray 200 through the knob 500. When the required amount of ice to be taken is less than the total amount of ice to be made in the ice cube tray 200, the ice maker of this structure cannot control the amount of ice to be made, and the amount of ice to be taken from the ice box 400 cannot be controlled either, and the excess ice cubes cannot be processed, resulting in waste of ice cubes. In addition, the ice maker of this structure rotates the ice cube tray 200 manually by rotating the knob 500, which has the defect of low automation. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0046] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technicians in this field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the formation of a better connection structure by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the invention can be combined interchangeably without conflicting with each other.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, it is a first embodiment of an ice-outlet weighing device provided by the present invention. In this embodiment, the device includes an ice-outlet housing 10, a weighing bracket 20, a weighing cup 30 and a first power mechanism 40, wherein the ice-outlet housing 10 includes a first housing 101 and an ice-outlet cover plate 102, the ice-outlet cover plate 102 covers an opening on one side of the first housing 101, the middle part of the first housing 101 is cylindrical, and the top and the bottom extend outwards respectively to form a housing inlet 103 and a housing outlet 104 similar to a cube shape; refer to Figure 3As shown, the housing inlet 103 and the housing outlet 104 are both connected to the outside. In this embodiment, the housing inlet 103 is used to receive ice cubes, and the housing outlet 104 is used to discharge ice cubes; the specific process will be further described below. Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the weighing cup 30 and the weighing bracket 20 are both provided with a first drainage hole 105 penetrating therethrough.

[0049] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the weighing bracket 20 is cylindrical and is rotatably installed in the ice discharging housing 10 along its axial direction; the weighing bracket 20 has an opening and a cavity, and the weighing cup 30 is placed in the cavity along the opening of the weighing bracket 20, and a weighing detection mechanism for weighing the weighing cup 30 is provided between the weighing cup 30 and the weighing bracket 20; through this structure, when ice cubes enter the weighing cup 30 from the housing inlet 103, the weighing detection mechanism can weigh the ice cubes in the weighing cup 30, so as to accurately control the amount of ice taken.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first power mechanism 40 is installed on the ice-discharging housing 10. In this embodiment, the first power mechanism 40 is a first motor, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the ice-discharging cover plate 102. The motor shaft of the first motor passes through the ice-discharging cover plate 102 and is fixed on the axial center of the weighing bracket 20. Through this structure, the weighing bracket 20 is driven to rotate in the first housing 101, so that the opening of the weighing cup 30 faces the housing inlet 103 or the housing outlet 104; when the opening of the weighing cup 30 faces the housing inlet 103, the weighing cup 30 is used to receive ice cubes; when the weighing cup 30 rotates 180° so that the opening of the weighing cup 30 faces the housing outlet 104, the ice cubes are discharged from the housing outlet 104 under the action of gravity. In addition, in the above embodiment, referring to Figure 4 As shown, a cavity for accommodating the PCBA board 106 is provided on the other side of the first housing 101 , and an outer cover plate 107 is provided at the opening of the cavity, and the rotation of the first motor is controlled by the PCBA board 106 .

[0051] Combination Figures 2 to 4As shown, we describe in detail the working process of an ice discharging weighing device of the present invention. When ice needs to be taken, under the control of the PCBA board 106, the first motor drives the weighing bracket 20 to rotate, so that the opening of the weighing cup 30 faces the shell inlet 103. At this time, the ice cubes enter the weighing cup 30 from the shell inlet 103, and the weighing detection mechanism between the weighing cup 30 and the weighing bracket 20 begins to detect the symmetrical weight cup 30. When the weight of the weighing cup 30 reaches the preset value, the first motor is controlled to rotate 180°, and the opening of the weighing cup 30 faces the shell outlet 104, and the ice cubes are discharged from the shell outlet 104, completing the ice taking process. In this solution, the amount of ice taken is detected in real time during the ice taking process, and the amount of ice taken can be accurately controlled; a preset value can be set, and ice is automatically taken after reaching the preset value, making the ice taking process more automated and intelligent.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, on the basis of the embodiment 1, for the weighing detection mechanism, the present invention provides a specific embodiment. In this embodiment, the side of the weighing bracket 20 is provided with an opening, the weighing cup 30 is inserted into the cavity of the weighing bracket 20 along the opening, and a weighing cover plate 201 is installed at the opening. The weighing bracket 20 and the weighing cover plate 201 are fixedly connected by locking screws. This structure facilitates the assembly of the weighing cup 30 and the weighing bracket 20, and facilitates the fixing of the weighing cover plate 201.

[0054] like Figure 5As shown, the weighing detection mechanism includes a pressure sensor 50, which is fixedly installed inside the weighing bracket 20. In this embodiment, the weighing bracket 20 is provided with a fixing hole 202 along the axial direction, and a switch seat 203 is inserted into the fixing hole 202. The pressure sensor 50 is arranged on the switch seat 203. Further, a side wall of the weighing cup 30 has a conical protrusion 301, and a rotating shaft 302 is arranged on the protrusion 301. The weighing cup 30 is rotatably installed on the weighing bracket 20 through the rotating shaft 302, so the weighing cup 30 can rotate along the rotating shaft 302; it can be understood that there must be a space reserved in the weighing bracket 20 for the weighing cup 30 to achieve slight rotation, which can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. The structural design of the protrusion 301 in this solution can, on the one hand, prevent the shaft 302 from being directly installed on the weighing cup 30, which would result in the inner wall of the weighing cup 30 being uneven in order to reserve a position for installing the shaft 302. Therefore, after the shaft 302 is installed on the protrusion 301, it can ensure that the inner wall of the weighing cup 30 on the side of the protrusion 301 is in a flat state. When the weighing cup 30 receives ice cubes, the ice cubes and the inner wall of the weighing cup 30 are relatively smooth, thereby preventing the ice cubes from sticking to the inner wall of the weighing cup 30 when the weighing cup 30 discharges the ice cubes. On the other hand, it can prevent the volume of the weighing cup 30 from being reduced in order to reserve a position for installing the shaft 302. Figure 5 As shown, the other side wall of the weighing cup 30 has a protruding plate 303 extending outward, and a bull's eye bearing 304 is fixedly mounted on the protruding plate 303, and the bull's eye bearing 304 is pressed on the pressure sensor 50; in this embodiment, the ball of the bull's eye bearing 304 is pressed on the pressure sensor 50, and the internal spring makes the ball and the bull's eye bearing 304 have a flexible contact, which can avoid the damage to the pressure sensor 50 caused by rigid contact, thereby improving the service life of the pressure sensor 50. In addition, a wire groove 305 is provided on the side wall of the load-bearing bracket, and the wires of the switch seat 203 and the pressure sensor 50 pass through the center of the weighing bracket 20 along the wire groove 305, which can prevent the wires from getting tangled during the rotation of the weighing bracket 20.

[0055] Through the above structure, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the weighing cup 30 can rotate around the rotating shaft 302, and the gravity of the weighing cup 30 is attached to the pressure sensor 50 through the bull's eye bearing 304. The signal of the pressure sensor 50 is transmitted to the PCBA board 106 to detect the weight of the ice cubes in the symmetrical weight cup 30. In the present invention, the weight of the symmetrical weight cup 30 is detected in a relatively narrow space through the structural design of the symmetrical weight bracket 20 and the weighing cup 30. The structural design is compact and delicate, and fewer parts are required.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] Reference Figure 7 As shown, on the basis of Example 1, for the weighing detection mechanism, the present invention also provides a specific embodiment, in which the weighing detection mechanism includes a pressure sensor 50, and the pressure sensor 50 is fixed on the inner bottom surface of the cavity of the weighing bracket 20, and the bottom of the weighing cup 30 is pressed on the pressure sensor 50; further, the two opposite side walls of the weighing cup 30 are provided with limit screws 501, and the weighing bracket 20 is reserved with a through hole for the limit screw 501 to pass through, and the inner diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the limit screw 501, so that the weighing cup 30 can achieve displacement in the vertical direction; and it can be understood that when the weighing cup 30 is in Figure 7 In the state shown in , the bottom of the weighing cup 30 is pressed against the pressure sensor 50, and the limit screw 501 does not contact the lower bottom surface of the through hole, that is, the gravity of the weighing cup 30 acts entirely on the pressure sensor 50, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the signal of the pressure sensor 50. When the weighing bracket 20 rotates 180°, the limit screw 501 prevents the weighing cup 30 from falling off from the weighing bracket 20. In another embodiment, the limit screws 501 can be set on the four opposite side walls of the weighing cup 30, and the weighing bracket 20 is reserved with a through hole for the limit screw 501 to pass through, and the inner diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the limit screw 501, so that the weighing cup 30 can be displaced in the vertical direction.

[0058] Example 4

[0059] Reference Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the first embodiment of an ice making machine provided by the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the ice making machine includes the ice discharging weighing device 100 as described above. In addition, the ice making machine also includes an ice making shell 200, a water supply device and an ice making device; wherein the ice making device includes a refrigerant, a compressor, an evaporator 300, an ice making head 400, a condenser and a radiator. Since the ice making principle of the ice making device belongs to a very mature prior art, the structure of the ice making device is no longer described in detail in this embodiment; the function of the ice making device is to provide a low temperature to freeze the water in the ice making head 400 and to provide a high temperature to let the ice cubes fall off the ice making head 400.

[0060] Furthermore, the ice-making housing 200 has an ice-making chamber 2001 inside, and a water tray 500 is installed on the top of the ice-making chamber 2001; the ice-making head 400 is installed on the top of the ice-making chamber 2001 and is located in the water tray 500; the water supply device includes a water supply pipe 600, and water is supplied to the water tray 500 through the water supply pipe 600. When the water in the water tray 500 is full, the ice-making head 400 is located in the water, and ice making is achieved through the ice-making head 400 to form ice cubes. In this embodiment, a flip motor 2002 is installed on the side wall of the ice-making housing 200, and the water tray 500 is connected to the motor shaft of the flip motor 2002. When ice making is completed, the water tray 500 is driven to rotate by the flip motor 2002, and the ice cubes in the water tray 500 are poured into the ice-making chamber 2001 of the ice-making housing 200.

[0061] Combination Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, the bottom of the ice-making housing 200 is provided with a spiral blade 2003, and the outside of the ice-making housing 200 is provided with a second power mechanism for driving the spiral blade 2003 to rotate; in this embodiment, the second power mechanism is a second motor 2004, and the spiral blade 2003 is driven to rotate by the second motor 2004. The ice-out weighing device 100 is located below the ice-making housing 200, and an ice-out port 2007 connected to the housing inlet 103 is provided at the end of the spiral blade 2003 of the ice-making housing 200. In addition, in combination with Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, the bottom of the ice-making housing 200 is inclined, the spiral blade 2003 is obliquely installed at the bottom of the ice-making housing 200 , and a second drainage hole 2005 is provided at the lowest point of the bottom of the ice-making housing 200 .

[0062] Through the above structure, the spiral blade 2003 is rotated under the drive of the second motor 2004, and the ice cubes are moved along the Fig. 9 The trajectory line 900 in the figure falls into the weighing cup 30, and the ice-discharging weighing device 100 discharges the ice cubes according to the set requirements; therefore, an ice-making machine of the present invention has the functions of weighing and discharging ice, has a simple structure, and can achieve the purpose of providing the amount of ice cubes corresponding to the demand for ice cubes given by the user.

[0063] In Example 4, combined Fig. 9 As shown, a baffle 2006 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the ice making chamber 2001, and the baffle 2006 is located above the ice outlet 2007 and covers the end of the spiral blade 2003. Due to the existence of the baffle 2006, ice cubes can be prevented from falling directly on the end of the spiral blade 2003, and ice cubes can be prevented from accumulating at the ice outlet 2007 and making it impossible to take ice.

[0064] For the structure of the ice-making housing 200, refer to Fig.12 As shown, the present invention also provides a specific embodiment, in which a sleeve 700 is sleeved at the end of the spiral blade 2003, the inner wall of the sleeve 700 is tightly fitted with the spiral blade 2003, and the length of the sleeve 700 is less than the length of the spiral blade 2003. With this structural design, the ice cubes in the ice-making housing 200 must pass through the sleeve 700 before being discharged from the ice outlet 2007. Since the sleeve 700, the ice cubes in the sleeve 700, and the spiral blade 2003 in the sleeve 700 form an obstacle, it is difficult for water in the ice-making housing 200 to pass through the obstacle and be discharged from the ice outlet 2007. Therefore, the bottom surface of the ice-making housing 200 can be set as an inclined surface with a very small slope; in this way, the storage capacity of ice cubes in the ice-making housing 200 can be increased and the discharge of water from the ice outlet 2007 can be reduced.

[0065] In order to further increase the storage capacity of ice cubes in the ice-making housing 200 and reduce the discharge of water from the ice outlet 2007, refer to Fig.13 As shown, the present invention also provides a specific embodiment, a water tank 800 is installed at the bottom of the ice-making housing 200, and the bottom surface of the water tank 800 is inclined, and a third drainage hole 8001 is arranged at the lowest point of the bottom surface of the water tank 800; the spiral blade 2003 is horizontally installed at the bottom of the ice-making housing 200. Since the water tank 800 is inclined, the water in the ice-making housing 200 flows along the direction of the drainage port due to gravity, and is discharged from the third drainage hole 8001 and is not easily discharged from the ice outlet 2007, and the bottom surface of the ice-making housing 200 is a horizontal plane, which can further increase the storage capacity of ice cubes in the ice-making housing 200 and reduce the discharge of water from the ice outlet 2007.

[0066] The above is a specific description of the preferred implementation of the present invention, but the invention is not limited to the embodiments.
