When preparing ice drinks, it is necessary to mix granular ice and liquid beverages manually or automatically. This design is difficult to meet the needs of diverse ice drink forms through a single device, restricting the flexibility of users in different scenarios and requirements. 2. Large volume: The existing ice drink machines are mostly designed for commercial use, with a large overall volume, making it difficult to meet the needs of ordinary families or portable scenarios. This limitation makes the existing ice drink machines have significant applicability problems in household use or mobile scenarios. In summary, the existing ice drink machines have obvious deficiencies in terms of functional diversity and portability, and urgent technical improvements are needed to overcome the above defects. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a multifunctional ice drink machine, which solves the problems of single form of prepared drinks, large floor space, and inconvenience in portability existing in the ice drink machines in the prior art.

[0004] A multifunctional ice drink machine includes a housing, an ice cube forming assembly, an ice drink forming assembly, and a refrigeration assembly;

[0005] The ice cube forming assembly includes a first evaporator and an ice receiving basket. The surface of the first evaporator has grid-shaped grooves.

[0009] Further, the ice cube forming assembly further includes a first water tank and a first water pump. The first water pump is connected to the first water tank to suck the water in the first water tank to the surface of the first evaporator;

[0010] The ice drink forming assembly further includes a second water tank and a second water pump. The second water pump is connected to the second water tank to suck the water in the second water tank to the surface of the second evaporator;

[0011] Wherein, the first water tank is of a drawer type structure and is located in the second cavity, and the second water tank is of a pull-up type structure and is located in the third cavity.

[0013] Wherein, the second housing is of a telescopic structure. When the second housing is in the extended state, the first water tank is located in the second cavity and the ice cube forming assembly is in a connected state. When the second housing is in the contracted state, the first water tank is pulled out of the second cavity and the ice cube forming assembly is disconnected and does not work.

[0014] Further, at least a part of the second housing is of a folding fan structure, which can be folded or unfolded under the action of an external force. When the folding fan structure is folded, the second housing is in the contracted state. When the folding fan structure is unfolded, the second housing is in the extended state.

[0015] Further, the refrigeration assembly further includes a first refrigerant pipeline, a second refrigerant pipeline, a first return pipeline, and a second return pipeline;

[0016] The compressor is connected to the inlet of the condenser. The outlet of the condenser is connected to the first evaporator through the first refrigerant pipeline. The condenser is connected to the second evaporator through the second refrigerant pipeline;

[0022] Further, the depth direction of the groove on the surface of the first evaporator is parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0023] Further, the pulling direction of the ice receiving basket is parallel to the axial direction of the second evaporator.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The present invention simultaneously sets an ice cube forming assembly and an ice drink forming assembly on the same device, adding an ice smoothie drink function on the basis of traditional ice cube drinks, enriching the forms of the produced ice drinks; secondly, the present invention also connects two evaporators with the same compressor, reducing the volume of one compressor, making the floor space of the device smaller, and at the same time, making multiple ice products with the same compressor will not affect the ice making efficiency; at the same time, the present invention further improves the compactness and home portability of the device through the advantages of reasonable layout of each functional module and avoiding interference with each other.

[0026] 2. The present invention sets the first water tank as a drawer-type structure, and at the same time cooperates with the second cavity formed by the second housing with a telescopic structure.

[0042] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and detailed implementation manners and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0043] It should be noted that in this specification, similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0044] In the description of this embodiment, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "bottom", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the inventive product is customarily placed during use. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0045] The terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0046] In the description of this embodiment, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "arranged", "connected", "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this embodiment can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0048] The present invention provides a multifunctional ice drink machine 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, which includes a housing 10, an ice cube forming assembly, an ice drink forming assembly, and a refrigeration assembly. The ice cube forming assembly, the ice drink forming assembly, and the refrigeration assembly are all arranged inside the housing.

[0049] Among them, the ice cube forming assembly includes a first evaporator 111 (as Figure 2 shown), and the ice drink forming assembly includes a second evaporator 121 (as Figure 2 shown).

[0050] The refrigeration assembly includes a compressor 130 and a condenser (not shown in the figure). The compressor 130 is respectively connected to the first evaporator 111 and the second evaporator 121 through the condenser. Among them, the interior of the housing 10 includes an adjacent first cavity, a second cavity, and a third cavity. The compressor 130 and the condenser (not shown in the figure) are located in the first cavity, the first evaporator 111 is located in the second cavity, and the second evaporator 121 is located in the third cavity.

[0051] It can be seen that the ice-making components of the two ice drinks of the present invention (such as the ice cube forming component and the ice drink forming component) share a set of compressor and condenser, and the two are integrated into a housing 10, realizing the integration and miniaturization of the production of various ice products. It can not only enrich the usage scenarios of the ice drink machine, but also use the same compressor to simultaneously produce various ice products (such as ice cubes and ice drinks), greatly improving the diversity of ice drink forms and the preparation efficiency. The present invention arranges the refrigeration component, the ice cube forming component and the ice drink forming component in adjacent different cavities respectively, having the advantages of reasonable layout of each functional module and avoiding interference with each other, further improving the compactness and practicability of the equipment.

[0052] Furthermore, since the present invention can simultaneously produce ice cubes and ice sand, users can mix the ice cubes and ice sand to form a new cold drink. The ice sand mixed with ice cubes is not easily melted into a liquid, and the state between solid and liquid makes the taste of the drink better.

[0053] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the ice cube forming component further includes a first water tank 151 and a first water pump (not shown in the figure). The first water pump is connected to the first water tank 151 to suck the water in the first water tank 151 to the surface of the first evaporator 111. The ice drink forming component further includes a second water tank 152 and a second water pump (not shown in the figure). The second water pump is connected to the second water tank 152 to suck the water in the second water tank 152 to the surface of the second evaporator 121. Among them, the first water tank 151 is of a drawer type structure and is located in the second cavity, and the second water tank 152 is of a pull-up type structure and is located in the third cavity.

[0054] The first water tank 151 and the second water tank 152 are independent of each other and not connected. In an exemplary embodiment, the first water tank 151 contains pure water, and the second water tank 152 contains fruit juice-based drinks, such as fruit juice, yogurt, plum juice, etc. The above ice drinks are fruit juice ice sand, stir-fried yogurt, plum ice sand, etc. Those skilled in the art can understand that the second water tank 152 can also contain pure water to make ordinary ice sand.

[0055] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the surface of the first evaporator 111 has grid-shaped grooves 112. The present invention does not limit the shape of the grooves 112. For example, it can be hemispherical, rectangular, polygonal, heart-shaped, pentagram-shaped, diamond-shaped, etc. In one embodiment, the grooves 112 are wedge-shaped or trapezoidal. In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the second evaporator 121 is in a drum shape. The ice drink forming component further includes a driving motor (not shown in the figure) and a scraper 122. The driving motor is connected to the second evaporator 121 and drives the second evaporator 121 to roll around its axis. The scraper 122 is arranged on the side wall of the second evaporator 121 to make the ice drink solidified on the side wall of the second evaporator 121 fall off to form ice sand.

[0056] In one embodiment, the side wall surface of the second evaporator 121 is a rough surface, for example, a plurality of dot-shaped bumps and / or grooves are evenly provided on its surface. In other examples, the surface is provided with serrated or wavy protrusions. Such a structure enables beverages (such as juice, yogurt, plum juice, etc.) to better adhere to the surface of the second evaporator 121 to solidify into shape.

[0057] In a further embodiment, the ice cube forming assembly further includes an ice receiving basket (not shown in the figure), which is located on the lower side of the first evaporator 111 along the direction of gravity, and is drawer-type and inserted into the outer shell 10.

[0058] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the depth direction of the groove 112 on the surface of the first evaporator 111 is parallel to the horizontal direction. After the ice cubes formed in the groove 112 exceed the notch portion of the groove 112, they will be driven to escape from the outside of the groove 112 and fall into the ice receiving basket. In a further embodiment, the outer edge of the side wall of the groove 112 located on the lower side in the direction of gravity is inclined toward the direction close to the ice receiving basket. The above structure is conducive to the ice cubes falling into the ice receiving basket under the action of gravity after being formed.

[0059] In one embodiment, the pulling direction of the ice basket (such as Figure 2 The direction indicated by the arrow in the middle is parallel to the axial direction of the second evaporator 121. Such a structure can prevent the pulling and pulling of the ice receiving basket from interfering with the output of ice drinks, and the ice receiving basket can be pulled and pulled at any time regardless of whether the second evaporator 121 is working.

[0060] In one embodiment, for example Figure 1 In the orientation shown, from left to right are the first cavity, the second cavity and the third cavity, the refrigeration assembly (including the compressor 130 and the condenser) is arranged in the first cavity, the ice cube forming assembly (including the first evaporator 111, the first water tank 151, the first water pump and the ice receiving basket) is arranged in the second cavity, and the ice drink forming assembly (including the second evaporator 121, the second water tank 152, the second water pump and the scraper 122) is arranged in the third cavity. Such a structure can not only make full use of the internal space of the shell and improve the miniaturization of the equipment, but also help the various components to work without interfering with each other, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0061] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the first water tank 151 may be a drawer type, which is operated by pulling out horizontally, and the second water tank 152 may be a pull-up type, which is operated by pulling out vertically. The two water tanks are separated from the housing 10 in different directions, which can further avoid interference.

[0062] The embodiment of the present invention has reasonable layout of functional modules to avoid interference with each other, which further improves the compactness and practicality of the device.

[0063] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 1 shown, the refrigeration assembly further includes a first refrigerant pipeline (not shown in the figure), a second refrigerant pipeline (not shown in the figure), a first return pipeline 133, and a second return pipeline 134.

[0064] The compressor 130 is connected to the inlet of a condenser (not shown in the figure), and the outlet of the condenser (not shown in the figure) is connected to the first evaporator 111 through the first refrigerant pipeline. The condenser is connected to the second evaporator 121 through the second refrigerant pipeline.

[0065] The outlet of the first evaporator 111 is connected to the compressor 130 through the first return pipeline 133, and the outlet of the second evaporator 121 is connected to the compressor 130 through the second return pipeline 134.

[0066] In one embodiment, a dryer filter and a capillary tube are further provided on the first refrigerant pipeline. The compressor 130 compresses the refrigerant, which then enters the first evaporator 111 and the second evaporator 121 respectively after passing through the condenser, the dryer filter, and the capillary tube. The refrigerant entering the evaporator expands and absorbs heat to achieve the purpose of cooling. The expanded refrigerant returns to the compressor through the first return pipeline 133 and the second return pipeline 134 to form a loop. The power supply 16 supplies power for the entire working process. In one embodiment, the power supply 16 is arranged in the first cavity. In one embodiment, the refrigeration assembly further includes a radiator 137, and the radiator 137 dissipates heat for the operation of the condenser.

[0067] Furthermore, the refrigeration assembly further includes a first solenoid valve 135 and a second solenoid valve 136. The first solenoid valve 135 is arranged on the first refrigerant pipeline and is used to control the on-off of the first refrigerant pipeline. The second solenoid valve 136 is arranged on the second refrigerant pipeline and is used to control the on-off of the second refrigerant pipeline.

[0068] Furthermore, the refrigeration assembly further includes a first connecting pipeline 141, a second connecting pipeline (not shown in the figure), and a connecting solenoid valve 143. The inlet of the first connecting pipeline 141 is connected to the compressor 130, and the outlet of the first connecting pipeline 141 is connected to the first evaporator 111. The inlet of the second connecting pipeline (not shown in the figure) is connected to the inlet of the first connecting pipeline 141, and the outlet of the second connecting pipeline (not shown in the figure) is connected to the second evaporator 121. The connecting solenoid valve 143 is arranged between the inlet of the first connecting pipeline 141 and the inlet of the second connecting pipeline (not shown in the figure) to control the refrigerant in the compressor 130 to enter the first evaporator 111 and the second evaporator 121 through the first connecting pipeline 141 and the second connecting pipeline.

[0069] With the above structure, after the connecting solenoid valve 143 is opened, the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 130 directly enters the first evaporator 111 through the first connecting pipe 141 without passing through the condenser, and enters the second evaporator 121 through the second connecting pipe. Since it does not pass through the condenser, the temperature of this refrigerant is relatively high, so it can increase the surface temperature of the first evaporator 111 and the second evaporator 121, which helps to defrost.

[0070] In an exemplary working process, the functions of making ice sand and making square ice share one compressor, one condenser and one cooling fan. When making ice sand, the second solenoid valve 136 is opened, the first solenoid valve 135 and the connecting solenoid valve 143 are closed, the compressor 130 compresses the refrigerant, passes through the condenser (for heat dissipation), passes through the second solenoid valve 136, the dryer filter and the capillary tube (for throttling) and enters the second evaporator 121. After the surface of the second evaporator 121 freezes, it is scraped off by the scraper 122 to form ice sand, and the refrigerant returns to the compressor 130 through the second return pipe 134.

[0071] When making ice cubes, the first solenoid valve 135 is opened, the second solenoid valve 136 and the connecting solenoid valve 143 are closed, the compressor 130 compresses the refrigerant, passes through the condenser (for heat dissipation), passes through the first solenoid valve 135, the dryer filter, the capillary tube (for throttling) and enters the first evaporator 111. Ice cubes are formed in the grooves 112 of the first evaporator 111, and the refrigerant returns to the compressor 130 through the first return pipe 133.

[0072] During defrosting or cleaning, the first solenoid valve 135, the second solenoid valve 136 and the connecting solenoid valve 143 are opened. When the compressor compresses the refrigerant, the temperature of the refrigerant in the compressor 130 and the condenser is high. When the connecting solenoid valve 143 is opened, the high-temperature refrigerant directly enters the first evaporator 111 and the second evaporator 121 through the connecting solenoid valve 143, making the surface temperature rise to achieve the effect of melting ice and defrosting.

[0073] It can be seen that the embodiments of the present invention can use the same machine to prepare two kinds of ice products at the same time. Compared with the technical solutions of traditional ice makers that require multiple devices to cooperate, the embodiments of the present invention have diverse functions and richer application scenarios.

[0074] In another preferred embodiment, the structure of the multifunctional ice drink machine is similar to that of the above embodiment, and the main difference lies in the housing. As Figures 3a - 3d shown, the housing 10 includes a first housing 101, a second housing 102 and a third housing 103 connected in sequence. A first cavity is formed in the first housing 101, a second cavity is formed in the second housing 102, and a third cavity is formed in the third housing 103. The two sides of the second housing 102 are detachably connected to the first housing 101 and the third housing 103 respectively.

[0075] Among them, the second housing 102 is a telescopic structure. When the second housing 102 is in the extended state, the first water tank 151 is located in the second cavity and the ice forming assembly is in the connected state; when the second housing 102 is in the contracted state, the first water tank 151 is withdrawn from the second cavity and the ice forming assembly is disconnected and does not work.

[0076] The form of the telescopic structure of the present invention is not limited. In one example, the second housing 102 can be a flexible structure, such as made of silicone or rubber, and realizes telescoping through flexible folding. In other embodiments, the second housing 102 is a multi-section structure, and each section uses an elastic member (such as a spring or a telescopic rod, etc.) to realize telescoping. In one embodiment, at least a part of the second housing 102 is a folding fan structure, as Figures 3a - 3d shown. The folding fan structure 104 can be folded or unfolded under an external force. When the folding fan structure 104 is folded, the second housing 102 is in the contracted state, and when the folding fan structure 104 is unfolded, the second housing 102 is in the extended state.

[0077] In a further embodiment, the second housing 102 is also provided with a first locking member and a second locking member. When the folding fan structure 104 is folded, the first locking member on the second housing 102 is engaged with the second locking member to lock the second housing in the contracted state.

[0078] The embodiment of the present invention adopts the above structure, which can withdraw the first water tank 151 when the user does not need to make ice for the ice drink, and use the foldable second housing 102 to contract the outer shell 10, further reducing the overall size and making the multifunctional ice drink machine more miniaturized and convenient to carry, so as to be applicable to more usage scenarios. For example, the housing contraction function is very suitable for camping. The flexible access of the first water tank 151 combined with the telescopic function of the second housing 102 can meet part of the ice drink demand while making the device more miniaturized and convenient to move between various camping sites.

[0079] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative labor. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the prior art should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
