Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to a novel water tank which is easy to disassemble and install. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a device that converts water into ice cubes through refrigeration technology. Its core principle is to remove heat from water through a thermodynamic cycle (compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation) so that the water freezes into ice at low temperatures. The water tank in the ice maker is a key component that is mainly responsible for the storage, distribution, and management of water to ensure that the ice-making process runs efficiently and stably.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN104236187A disclosed a water tank drainage mechanism for an ice maker on December 24, 2014. The technical solution is a water tank drainage mechanism for an ice maker, comprising: a water tank for accommodating water gathered for ice making; a siphon drain pipe for draining the water in the water tank; the characteristic is that the bottom surface of the water tank is designed to be an inclined surface that forms an angle with the horizontal plane; the water suction port of the siphon drain pipe is opened at the lowest point of the bottom surface of the tank; the technical effect of the present invention is that the drainage is cleaner, which not only reduces the pollution problem of residual water, but also improves the transparency of the made ice, which is an outstanding improvement compared with the prior art.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned disclosed scheme has the following shortcomings: the water tank in the prior art is only initially fixed by a step-by-step manner and then fixed by fasteners such as bolts and screws. Although this fixing method is tight, it is inconvenient to disassemble and difficult to clean the dead corners inside the water tank when it needs to be disassembled for cleaning. Summary of the invention

[0021] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up-down-left-right-front-back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship - movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0024] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, a new type of water tank that is easy to disassemble and install includes a water tank box 1 arranged in the ice maker; a locking groove 2 is opened at both ends of the outer surface of the water tank box 1; a locking plate 4 is fixedly connected in the locking groove 2; a fixed side plate 3 is slidably inserted between the locking plate 4 and the water tank box 1; a limiting convex plate 5 is provided on the fixed side plate 3 corresponding to the locking plate 4; a plurality of countersunk holes 6 are opened on the fixed side plate 3, and fasteners are inserted into the countersunk holes 6 to be fixed to the inner wall of the chassis of the ice maker so as to be suspended and fixed, so that the water tank box 1 can be set on the two fixed side plates 3, and the fixing and limiting functions are realized through the protrusion of the limiting convex plate 5 and the elastic deformation friction of the locking plate 4.

[0025] The water tank box 1 is provided with a liquid storage tank 7 for storing clean water required by the ice maker; a symmetrical horizontal platform 8 is provided in the liquid storage tank 7; a limiting guide plate 9 is provided in the liquid storage tank 7 corresponding to the horizontal platform 8; a fixing plate 10 for fixing structures such as a water pump is slidably inserted between the limiting guide plate 9 and the horizontal platform 8, so that the water pump and other structures can be quickly disassembled together when disassembling; water inlet and outlet holes 12 are provided in the liquid storage tank 7; an avoidance groove 25 is provided on the fixing plate 10; an elastic plug-in 24 is elastically inserted into the water tank box 1 corresponding to the avoidance groove 25, and the elastic plug-in 24 is located in the avoidance groove 25, thereby limiting the left and right displacement of the fixing plate 10, and also facilitating the lateral displacement operation of removing the fixing plate 10.

[0026] A plurality of limit frames 13 are inserted into the liquid storage tank 7; a limit shaft 14 is inserted into the limit frame 13; an end cover 15 is sleeved on the limit shaft 14; a hollow tube 16 is inserted between the end covers 15; a sliding tube 19 is slidably sleeved on the hollow tube 16; a buoyancy plate 20 is fixedly connected to the sliding tube 19. The buoyancy plate 20 made of low-density material floats on the water surface. Therefore, each time the water level changes due to ice making and water extraction, the buoyancy plate 20 will move left and right along the limit shaft 14 due to buoyancy, thereby cleaning the inner side surface of the liquid storage tank 7, thereby reducing water stains from contaminating the inner side surface of the liquid storage tank 7.

[0027] A first magnetic block 17 and a second magnetic block 18 are fixedly connected at intervals in the hollow tube 16; a third magnetic block 21 and a fourth magnetic block 22 are fixedly connected at intervals on the sliding tube 19. By manually moving the sliding tube 19, the third magnetic block 21 and the fourth magnetic block 22 on the hollow tube 16 are moved to between the first magnetic block 17 and the second magnetic block 18 for magnetic connection to limit displacement. Therefore, the hollow tube 16 can be removed and used as a brush, and the inner side of the liquid storage tank 7 can be cleaned through the buoyancy plate 20.

[0028] The distance between the third magnetic block 21 and the fourth magnetic block 22 is smaller than the distance between the first magnetic block 17 and the second magnetic block 18; by manually moving the sliding tube 19, the third magnetic block 21 and the fourth magnetic block 22 are moved on the hollow tube 16 to between the first magnetic block 17 and the second magnetic block 18 to establish a magnetic connection to limit displacement, so that the hollow tube 16 can be removed and used as a brush, and the inner side of the liquid storage tank 7 can be cleaned through the buoyancy plate 20.

[0029] The opposing surfaces of the third magnetic block 21 and the fourth magnetic block 22 magnetically repel each other; the opposing surfaces of the first magnetic block 17 and the second magnetic block 18 magnetically repel each other; by manually moving the sliding tube 19, the third magnetic block 21 and the fourth magnetic block 22 are moved on the hollow tube 16 to between the first magnetic block 17 and the second magnetic block 18 to establish a magnetic connection to limit displacement, so that the hollow tube 16 can be removed and used as a brush, and the inner surface of the liquid storage tank 7 can be cleaned through the buoyancy plate 20.

[0030] An overflow drain pipe 11 is connected and fixedly connected inside the liquid storage tank 7; an overflow baffle 23 is sealed and fixedly connected inside the liquid storage tank 7 corresponding to the overflow drain pipe 11. The overflow baffle 23 is lower than the height of the liquid storage tank 7, so that when purified water for ice making is continuously input due to a malfunction, excess water can be discharged through the overflow drain pipe 11, thereby not polluting the ice maker.
