Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ice-making appliances, and particularly to an ice maker that is convenient for cleaning and disinfection. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that cools water through an evaporator with a refrigerant of a refrigeration system to generate ice. A commercial ice maker introduces drinking water into an ice tray through a water system to be cooled by heat absorption, thereby making ice. After the water forms ice cubes in the ice tray, the ice cubes are detached from the ice tray.

[0003] After a commercial ice maker is used for a certain period of time, scale and bacteria will be generated in the water system of the ice maker. The generated bacteria will combine with the ice made by the ice maker, affecting the quality of the ice cubes made by the ice maker.

[0004] However, for a commercial ice maker, since ice needs to be made at intervals, repeatedly turning the machine on and off is not conducive to maintaining the low temperature inside the ice maker. Therefore, during the working hours, the ice maker needs to be in standby mode for a long time. It is very inconvenient to perform cleaning operations during the standby time, and there may be risks due to the lack of power-off. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to ensure both the cleanliness inside the ice maker and the cleaning safety inside the ice maker, the present application provides an ice maker that is convenient for cleaning and disinfection.

[0006] The ice maker that is convenient for cleaning and disinfection provided by the present application adopts the following technical solutions: An ice maker that is convenient for cleaning and disinfection, comprising: An ice-making outer shell that provides an installation space for devices required for ice making and cleaning and disinfection; An ice-making box, arranged on one side inside the ice-making outer shell, capable of condensing the water flowing into the ice-making box into ice. One side of the ice-making box is an open end and is connected with an ice-making plate; A water delivery device for delivering water into the ice-making box. The water delivery device includes a water delivery component penetrating through the ice-making outer shell close to the ice-making box side and a three-way pipe connected to the water delivery component away from the inner wall of the ice-making outer shell. A valve is arranged on the shunt pipe of the three-way pipe connected to the ice-making box; A cleaning component, connected to the shunt pipe of the three-way pipe where the valve is not installed. The cleaning component includes a first driving member installed on the inner wall of the ice-making outer shell, an output pipe connected to the output shaft of the first driving member, and a spray head connected to the output pipe. The output pipe is connected to the three-way pipe; A disinfection component is arranged on one side inside the ice maker near the opening end. The disinfection component includes a second driving member installed on the ice maker and a UV board connected to the second driving member. The UV board can emit ultraviolet light inside the ice maker. A door panel is arranged on the side of the ice-making outer shell away from the ice maker.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to disinfect the inside of the ice maker, close the valve, open the water supply component, the water input by the water supply component flows into the output pipe, the first driving component drives the output pipe to extend, and the water in the output pipe is sprayed out through the nozzle for cleaning; at the same time, start the second driving component, the second driving component drives the UV board to clean the inside of the ice maker. When the cleaning is completed, open the valve to start making ice. The ice cubes are ejected from the ice-making plate, and then open the door panel to take out the ice cubes. This series of operations can ensure the cleanliness and cleaning safety inside the ice maker at the same time.

[0008] Optionally, the length of the UV board is not less than the length of the port of the opening end of the ice maker. A push plate and a third driving member for controlling the push plate to move towards the opening end of the ice maker are arranged inside the ice maker. The length of the UV board is not less than the push plate, and the UV board is parallel to the push plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the UV board is longer than the diameter of the opening end, so as to be able to disinfect the inside of the ice maker comprehensively. When making ice, the third driving member will drive the push plate to make ice, and the UV board can simultaneously disinfect the push plate, and the length of the UV board is not less than the push plate, so as to be able to disinfect the push plate comprehensively.

[0010] Optionally, a drain pipe penetrates through the bottom of the ice-making outer shell, and the position where the drain pipe is opened is located at the bottom of the ice maker near the opening end.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the cleaning component for cleaning, the water can flow out along the drain pipe, avoiding the cleaning water from flowing into the ice maker and affecting the quality of subsequent ice making; and timely drainage can also avoid the cleaning water from soaking the instruments inside the ice maker for a long time, causing damage and increasing the cost of ice making.

[0012] Optionally, a drying component is arranged on the side of the cleaning component away from the three-way pipe. The drying component includes a connecting rod installed on the top of the ice-making outer shell, a control rod hinged to the connecting rod, and a drying plate hinged to the end of the control rod away from the connecting rod. The control rod is connected with a fourth driving member for controlling the up and down movement of the drying component.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when drying is required, the fourth driving component is started. The fourth driving component drives the control rod to rotate clockwise, causing the drying plate to move downward under the drive of the control rod and extend between the ice-making plate and the door panel for drying. The moisture from the cleaning is dried to facilitate subsequent ice-making. After the drying is completed, the fourth driving component is started in the reverse direction. The fourth driving component drives the control rod to rotate counterclockwise, causing the drying plate to move upward under the drive of the control rod. Since the control rod is hinged to the drying plate, the drying plate is retracted without affecting the subsequent ice-taking.

[0014] Optionally, a compression spring is provided between the connecting rod and the control rod. When the control rod rotates clockwise, the compression spring applies an elastic force to the control rod. When the control rod rotates counterclockwise, the control rod compresses the compression spring.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fourth driving member drives the control rod to move away from the connecting rod, the control rod drives the drying plate to move downward. At this time, the compression spring gives an elastic force to the control rod, enabling the control rod to open more efficiently, thereby making the drying efficiency higher. When the fourth driving member drives the control rod to move closer to the connecting rod, the compression spring gives a pulling force to the control rod, enabling the drying component to be retracted faster and enter the next ice-making as soon as possible.

[0016] Optionally, a sensor is provided inside the ice-making housing. The sensor is coupled to the controller, and the controller is respectively coupled to the first driving member, the second driving member, the third driving member, and the fourth driving member.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensor is provided to collect operation induction signals and transmit the signals to the controller. When ice-making is required, the controller controls the third driving member to start. When cleaning is required, the controller controls the first driving member to start. When disinfection is required, the controller controls the second driving member to start. When drying is required, the controller controls the fourth driving member to start.

[0018] Optionally, the cross-section of the ice-making housing is a right trapezoid. A display screen and buttons are provided on the inclined surface of the ice-making housing. The display screen is electrically connected to the buttons, and the buttons are also electrically connected to the sensor.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the display screen arranged on the inclined plane of the ice-making outer shell is used to display in real time the state inside the ice-making outer shell and the motion states of various components transmitted by the sensor. The button is connected to the sensor. When the button corresponding to the operation is pressed, the sensor transmits a signal to the controller, so that the controller can control the driving of the first driving member, the second driving member, the third driving member and the fourth driving member, and thus control the operation of the components driven by the driving of the first driving member, the second driving member, the third driving member and the fourth driving member.

[0020] Optionally, the water delivery component includes a water inlet pipe penetrating through the ice-making outer shell and a water tank connected to the water inlet pipe. One end of the water tank away from the water inlet pipe is connected to the three-way pipe.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, water is introduced into the water inlet pipe and then enters the water tank through the water inlet pipe. During the ice-making process, the valve is opened, so that water flows from the water tank into the ice-making box for ice-making; when cleaning is required, the valve is closed and the first driving member is started, and water flows from the water tank into the output pipe and finally sprays out from the nozzle for cleaning.

[0022] Optionally, a filter is further connected between the water inlet pipe and the water tank, and the filter is used to filter the input water.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the filter can produce multiple effects. First, the filter filters the water entering the water tank in advance, making the water in the water tank cleaner and the water flowing from the water tank into the ice-making box purer, so that the quality of the finally produced ice is better. Second, the water in the water tank also enters the nozzle through the output pipe and sprays out for cleaning, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0024] Optionally, a plurality of wheels are arranged at the bottom of the ice-making outer shell, and the wheels enable the ice-making machine to move freely.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ice-making machine needs to be moved, the ice-making outer shell is pushed, so that the ice-making outer shell drives the wheels to rotate, enabling the ice-making machine to move to the required position; when the ice-making machine moves to a suitable position, the rotating shaft of the wheel is fixed, and the position of the ice-making machine can be kept unchanged.

[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1.

Detailed implementation mode

[0030] The following will further elaborate on this application in conjunction with the attached Figure 1-2 drawings.

[0031] An embodiment of this application discloses an ice maker that is convenient for cleaning and disinfection.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an ice maker that is convenient for cleaning and disinfection includes an ice-making housing 1 that provides an installation space for the devices required for ice making and cleaning and disinfection, an ice-making box 2 disposed inside the ice-making housing 1, a water supply device 3 connected to the ice-making box 2, a disinfection component 4 disposed inside the ice-making box 2, a cleaning component 5 disposed inside the ice-making box 2, and a door panel 6 hinged to one side of the ice-making housing 1 away from the ice-making box 2.

[0033] One side of the ice-making box 2 is an open end and is connected with an ice-making plate 7. The cleaning component 5 includes a first driving member 51 installed on the inner wall of the ice-making housing 1, an output pipe 52 connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 51, and a spray head 53 connected to the output pipe 52. The disinfection component 4 is disposed on one side of the inside of the ice-making box 2 close to the open end. The disinfection component 4 includes a second driving member 41 installed on the ice-making box 2 and an ultraviolet plate 42 connected to the second driving member 41. The ultraviolet plate 42 can emit ultraviolet light to the inside of the ice-making box 2.

[0034] When it is necessary to disinfect the inside of the ice-making box 2, turn on the water supply device 3. The water input by the water supply device 3 flows into the output pipe 52. The first driving component drives the output pipe 52 to extend, and sprays the water in the output pipe 52 through the spray head 53 for cleaning. At the same time, start the second driving component, and the second driving component drives the ultraviolet plate 42 to clean the inside of the ice-making box 2. When the cleaning is completed, start making ice. The ice cubes are ejected from the ice-making plate 7, and then open the door panel 6 to take out the ice cubes. This series of operations can ensure the cleanliness and cleaning safety inside the ice maker at the same time.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 , the water supply device 3 includes a water supply component 31 passing through one side of the ice-making housing 1 close to the ice-making box 2 and a three-way pipe 32 connected to the water supply component 31 away from the inner wall of the ice-making housing 1. A valve 33 is provided on the three-way pipe 32 connected to the ice-making box 2. The cleaning component 5 is connected to the shunt pipe on the side of the three-way pipe 32 where the valve 33 is not installed and away from the ice-making component.

[0036] In use, water is introduced into the water inlet pipe 311 and then enters the water tank 312 through the water inlet pipe 311. During the ice-making process, the valve 33 is opened, so that water flows from the water tank 312 into the ice-making box 2 for ice-making; when cleaning is required, the valve 33 is closed and the first driving member 51 is started, and water flows from the water tank 312 into the output pipe 52 and finally sprays out from the nozzle 53 for cleaning.

[0037] Referring to Figure 2 , the water delivery assembly 31 includes a water inlet pipe 311 passing through the ice-making housing 1 and a water tank 312 connected to the water inlet pipe 311. One end of the water tank 312 away from the water inlet pipe 311 is connected to a three-way pipe 32. The three channels of the three-way pipe 32 are respectively connected to the water tank 312, the ice-making box 2 and the output pipe 52. The valve 33 is arranged on the channel of the three-way pipe 32 connected to the ice-making box 2. A filter 8 is also connected between the water inlet pipe 311 and the water tank 312, and the filter 8 is used to filter the input water.

[0038] When disinfecting the inside of the ice-making box 2, the valve 33 is closed. After cleaning is completed, the valve 33 is opened to start ice-making. The setting of the filter 8 can produce multiple effects. First, the filter 8 filters the water entering the water tank 312 in advance, making the water in the water tank 312 cleaner and the water flowing into the ice-making box 2 from the water tank 312 purer, resulting in better quality of the finally produced ice. Second, the water in the water tank 312 also enters the nozzle 53 through the output pipe 52 and sprays out for cleaning, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0039] A drain pipe 9 penetrates through the bottom of the ice-making housing 1, and the position where the drain pipe 9 is opened is located at the position of the bottom of the ice-making box 2 close to the opening end. When using the cleaning assembly 5 for cleaning, water can flow out along the drain pipe 9, preventing the cleaning water from flowing into the ice-making box 2 and affecting the quality of subsequent ice-making; and timely drainage can also prevent the cleaning water from soaking the instruments in the ice-making machine for a long time, causing damage and increasing the cost of ice-making.

[0040] Referring to Figure 2 , a push plate 10 and a third driving member 11 for controlling the movement of the push plate 10 towards the opening end of the ice-making box 2 are arranged in the ice-making box 2. The length of the ultraviolet plate 42 is not less than that of the push plate 10, the length of the ultraviolet plate 42 is not less than the length of the port of the opening end of the ice-making box 2, and the ultraviolet plate 42 is parallel to the push plate 10.

[0041] The length of the ultraviolet plate 42 is longer than the diameter of the opening end, so as to be able to disinfect the inside of the ice-making box 2 comprehensively. When making ice, the third driving member 11 will drive the push plate 10 to make ice, and the ultraviolet plate 42 can simultaneously disinfect the push plate 10, and the length of the ultraviolet plate 42 is not less than that of the push plate 10, so as to be able to disinfect the push plate 10 comprehensively.

[0042] On one side of the cleaning component 5 away from the tee 32, there is a drying component 12. The drying component 12 includes a connecting rod 121 installed on the top of the ice-making housing 1, a control rod 122 hinged to the connecting rod 121, and a drying plate 123 hinged to the end of the control rod 122 away from the connecting rod 121. The control rod 122 is connected with a fourth driving member 13 for controlling the up and down movement of the drying component 12. A compression spring 14 is arranged between the connecting rod 121 and the control rod 122. When the control rod 122 rotates clockwise, the compression spring 14 exerts an elastic force on the control rod 122; when the control rod 122 rotates counterclockwise, the control rod 122 compresses the compression spring 14. The drying plate 123 does not turn on the heating when not in use, so as to avoid the temperature in the refrigeration housing being too high and unable to make ice normally.

[0043] When drying is needed, start the fourth driving component. The fourth driving component drives the control rod 122 to move clockwise, so that the drying plate 123 moves downward under the drive of the control rod 122 and extends between the ice-making plate 7 and the door panel 6 for drying; at this time, the compression spring 14 gives an elastic force to the control rod 122, enabling the control rod 122 to open more efficiently, drying the water for cleaning for subsequent ice-making, so that the drying efficiency is higher; after the drying is completed, start the fourth driving component in the reverse direction. The fourth driving component drives the control rod 122 to move counterclockwise, so that the drying plate 123 moves upward under the drive of the control rod 122. The compression spring 14 gives a pulling force to the control rod 122, enabling the drying component 12 to retract faster and enter the next ice-making as soon as possible. Since the control rod 122 and the drying plate 123 are hinged, the drying plate 123 is retracted without affecting the subsequent ice-taking.

[0044] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in, an inductor 15 is arranged inside the ice-making housing 1. The inductor 15 is coupled to a controller (not shown in the figure). The controller is respectively coupled to the first driving member 51, the second driving member 41, the third driving member 11, and the fourth driving member 13. The inductor 15 is provided for collecting operation induction signals and transmitting the signals to the controller. When ice-making is needed, the controller controls the third driving member 11 to start; when cleaning is needed, the controller controls the first driving member 51 to start; when disinfection is needed, the controller controls the second driving member 41 to start; when drying is needed, the controller controls the fourth driving member 13 to start.

[0045] The cross-section of the ice-making housing 1 is a right trapezoid. A display screen 16 and buttons 17 are arranged on the inclined surface of the ice-making housing 1. The display screen 16 and the buttons 17 are electrically connected, and the buttons 17 are also electrically connected to the sensor 15. The display screen 16 arranged on the inclined surface of the ice-making housing 1 is used to display in real time the state inside the ice-making housing 1 and the motion states of various components transmitted by the sensor 15. The buttons 17 are connected to the sensor 15. When the corresponding operation button 17 is pressed, the sensor 15 transmits a signal to the controller, so that the controller can control the driving of the first driving member 51, the second driving member 41, the third driving member 11, and the fourth driving member 13, and thus control the operation of the components driven by the driving of the first driving member 51, the second driving member 41, the third driving member 11, and the fourth driving member 13.

[0046] The first driving member 51, the second driving member 41, the third driving member 11, and the fourth driving member 13 can be selected as structures such as a combination of a cylinder, a rack and pinion, and a driving motor, so as to realize the up and down movement of the output shafts of the first driving member 51, the second driving member 41, the third driving member 11, and the fourth driving member 13. In the attached drawings of this application, a cylinder is taken as an example for display. This is prior art and will not be elaborated in this application.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a plurality of wheels 18 are arranged at the bottom of the ice-making housing 1. The wheels 18 can enable the ice maker to move freely. The wheels 18 are arranged to be able to lock the position of the wheels 18 when no longer needing to move. Such wheels 18 are prior art and the specific structure will not be elaborated. When it is necessary to move the ice maker, the ice-making housing 1 is pushed, so that the ice-making housing 1 drives the wheels 18 to rotate, enabling the ice maker to move to the required position; when the ice maker moves to a suitable position, the rotating shaft of the wheels 18 is fixed, and then the position of the ice maker can be kept unchanged.

[0048] The implementation principle of an ice maker that is convenient for cleaning and disinfection according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: During use, when the button 17 corresponding to the operation is pressed, the sensor 15 transmits a signal to the controller, and water is introduced into the water inlet pipe 311 and then enters the water tank 312 through the water inlet pipe 311. When it is necessary to disinfect the interior of the ice storage box 2, the valve 33 is closed, and the controller controls the first driving member 51 to start. Water flows from the water tank 312 into the output pipe 52 and finally sprays out from the nozzle 53 for cleaning. The water can flow out along the drain pipe 9 to prevent the cleaning water from flowing into the ice storage box 2. When it is necessary to dry, the controller controls the fourth driving member 13 to start. The fourth driving assembly drives the control rod 122 to rotate clockwise, so that the drying plate 123 moves downward under the drive of the control rod 122 and extends between the ice making plate 7 and the door panel 6. At the same time, for disinfection, the controller controls the second driving member 41 to start, and the second driving assembly drives the ultraviolet plate 42 to clean the interior of the ice storage box 2. After cleaning, ice making can start. During the ice making process, the valve 33 is opened, so that water flows from the water tank 312 into the ice storage box 2. The controller controls the third driving member 11 to start, pushes the push plate 10, and the ice cubes are ejected from the ice making plate 7. Then, the door panel 6 is opened to take out the ice cubes.

[0049] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
