Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to a novel evaporator structure which is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] The evaporator of the ice maker is one of the key components in the ice maker, and it plays a vital role in the ice-making process; the main function of the evaporator is to absorb heat through the evaporation of the refrigerant, thereby lowering the temperature of the water in contact with it and freezing the water into ice.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN207299623U disclosed an ice maker evaporator and an ice maker on May 1, 2018. The evaporator includes a shell, a water spray pipe arranged above the shell, an ice mold plate arranged in the inner cavity of the shell, and an evaporation tube arranged on the back of the ice mold plate. The evaporation tube is embedded in the foaming layer, and the tube wall is pressed against the back of the ice mold plate by the foaming layer. The ice maker includes an ice maker liner installed with the above-mentioned ice maker evaporator. The utility model adopts a foaming layer formed by a foaming molding process between the evaporation tube and the ice mold plate, which can ensure the heat exchange between the evaporation tube and the ice mold plate by the pressure of the foaming process, and can also seal the evaporation tube to prevent water from entering, while keeping warm and avoiding the loss of cold. It has the advantages of reliable life, safety and hygiene, simple process and convenient installation.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned publicly disclosed solutions have the following shortcomings: there is a water tank under the evaporator of the prior art, which stores direct drinking water. The accumulation of condensed water cannot be discharged, which will cause the water to mold, have an odor and deteriorate, and there is a risk of dripping into the water tank. The ice-making water flows through the plastic parts of the evaporator, and there will be a reverse flow of water that will remain in the gap between the water tank and the installation gap of the box body. The water flows into the ice storage area, affecting the shape of the ice cubes, and the water stains in the gap are in a sanitary dead corner and cannot be cleaned. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems and provide a new evaporator structure which is easy to clean.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a new type of evaporator structure that is easy to clean described in the present invention includes a frame body; the frame body is symmetrically provided with positioning grooves; a drip pipe is detachably inserted in the positioning groove; an ice-making tray is detachably fixedly connected in the frame body; a condenser is detachably fixedly connected to the back of the ice-making tray; a water storage tank is provided on the frame body corresponding to the condenser; a sewer pipe is connected and fixedly connected to the water storage tank; a drain pipe is sleeved on the sewer pipe; a corrugated pipe is sleeved on the lower end of the drain pipe; and absorbent cotton is inserted into the lower end of the corrugated pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a limit baffle is detachably fixed to the condenser tube; and a fixing hole is provided on the limit baffle tube corresponding to the condenser tube.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing strip is inserted into the groove on the frame body corresponding to the inner wall of the ice making machine.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of fixing seats with openings are fixedly connected in the frame body corresponding to the inner wall of the ice maker; and a plurality of anti-rust plugs are inserted in the fixing seats corresponding to the fasteners.

[0011] Furthermore, the frame body is detachably and rotatably connected with an ice skate board corresponding to the ice tray.

[0012] Furthermore, the anti-rust plug and the sealing strip are made of silicone.

[0013] Furthermore, the water storage tank is located directly below the condenser.

[0014] The present invention provides a novel evaporator structure that is easy to clean, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In the present invention, the condensed water formed on the back of the condenser tube and the ice tray falls into the water storage tank under the action of gravity and gathers into a water flow. The water flows along the water storage tank into the downpipe, the drain pipe and the bellows, and finally enters the absorbent cotton for storage. The absorbent cotton is exposed to the air in the ice maker and evaporates naturally through the heat dissipation wind of the condenser fan in the compressor cabin, so that the condensed water will not accumulate and remain to cause pollution. It evaporates naturally into the cabin through the absorbent cotton, and the back of the evaporator can reach a maintenance-free state;

The condensed water formed on the back of the condenser tube 9 and the ice tray 5 falls into the water storage tank 15 under the action of gravity and gathers into a water flow. The water flows along the water storage tank 15 into the downpipe 14, the drain pipe 6 and the bellows 8, and finally enters the absorbent cotton 7 for storage. The absorbent cotton 7 is exposed to the air in the ice maker and evaporates naturally through the heat dissipation wind of the condensing fan in the compressor cabin, so that the condensed water will not accumulate and cause pollution. It evaporates naturally into the cabin through the absorbent cotton, and the back of the evaporator can reach a maintenance-free state.

[0028] A limit baffle 10 is detachably fixed to the condenser tube 9; a fixing hole 11 is provided on the limit baffle 10 corresponding to the condenser tube 9, and the limit baffle 10 presses the condenser tube 9 to make it more closely contact with the back of the ice tray 5, so that the low temperature is transmitted more quickly; the fixing hole 11 can cooperate with a gasket to protect the condenser tube 9 while pressing the condenser tube 9 to make it more closely contact with the back of the ice tray 5.

[0029] A sealing strip 13 is inserted into the groove on the frame body 1 corresponding to the inner wall of the ice maker. The sealing strip 13 forms a closed area between the frame body 1 and the inner wall of the ice maker, so that the generated condensed water can only fall into the water storage tank 15 under the action of gravity and then be discharged along the downpipe 14, the drain pipe 6 and the bellows 8, and then enter the absorbent cotton 7 to contact with the air, and evaporate naturally through the heat dissipation wind of the compressor compartment condensing fan.

[0030] A fixing seat 12 with multiple openings is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ice maker in the frame body 1; a plurality of anti-rust plugs 16 are inserted into the fixing seat 12 corresponding to the fasteners, and the fixing seat 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the ice maker by bolts inserted therein, and then the anti-rust plugs 16 made of silicone are inserted into the fixing seat 12 for sealing, so that the internal bolts will not rust and will not contaminate the ice-making water.

[0031] The frame body 1 is detachably and rotatably connected to the ice tray 5 with a skate board 2, which contacts the falling ice cubes to change the sliding position of the ice cubes, so that the ice cubes can fall to the designated position without being mixed with the circulating water.

[0032] The anti-rust plug 16 and the sealing strip 13 are made of silicone, so that the structure is stable and clean, and will not react with water to generate harmful substances. At the same time, the anti-rust plug 16 seals the fasteners in the fixing seat 12 to prevent rust caused by contact with moisture, making long-term use safer and healthier; the sealing strip 13 forms a closed area between the frame body 1 and the inner wall of the ice maker, so that the generated condensed water can only fall into the water storage tank 15 under the action of gravity and then be discharged along the downpipe 14, the drain pipe 6 and the bellows 8, and then enter the absorbent cotton 7 to contact with the air, and evaporate naturally through the heat dissipation wind of the compressor compartment condensing fan.

[0033] The water storage tank 15 is located directly below the condenser tube 9 so as to receive condensed water from the condenser tube 9 and the back of the ice tray 5, thereby not polluting the water tank and other items in the ice maker.
