Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an ice tank assembly. Background Art

[0002] The ice tank is provided with a radiator. The original radiator generally includes a heat dissipation plate with multiple fins, and a fan is arranged at the middle position of the heat dissipation plate. When the ice tank works, the generated heat is transferred to the heat dissipation plate, and then the fan starts to allow the air flow to quickly pass through the heat dissipation plate to complete the heat dissipation of the heat dissipation plate.

[0003] There is a problem with this structure. If the ice tank is in some enclosed areas, such as inside a kitchen cabinet or other cabinets, the heat cannot be dissipated, which affects the refrigeration efficiency of the ice tank. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ice tank assembly whose heat dissipation performance is not affected by the environment, and it is especially suitable for occasions with limited heat dissipation conditions such as under the kitchen counter and refrigerating ice tanks embedded in cabinets.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An ice tank assembly includes a main body and a refrigeration chip, and is characterized in that: it further includes a cooling assembly, the cooling assembly is in close contact with the refrigeration chip, a water path is arranged in the cooling assembly, the inlet of the water path is connected to a water supply pipe, and the outlet of the water path is connected to a drain pipe. When in use, water is passed into the cooling assembly from the water supply pipe, and when the water flow passes through the water path, it takes away the heat on the cooling assembly and the refrigeration chip. With this structure, the heat dissipation of the ice tank is not affected by the space, and it is especially suitable for occasions with limited heat dissipation space such as under the kitchen counter but where it is convenient to connect to the water source.

[0006] As a preferred implementation manner of the present invention, the refrigeration chip is arranged on the side wall of the main body.

[0007] As a preferred implementation manner of the present invention, the cooling assembly includes a heat conduction plate and a water path plate. One side of the heat conduction plate is in close contact with the refrigeration chip, a groove is arranged on the back surface of the water path plate, and the other side of the heat conduction plate is in close contact with the back surface of the water path plate to form a seal, and the groove is in close contact with the heat conduction plate to enclose and form a water path. In this way, the water flow directly contacts the heat conduction plate, and can take away heat more efficiently.

[0008] As a preferred implementation manner of the present invention, there are two refrigeration chips, and one heat conduction plate is arranged on each refrigeration chip.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water pipe is connected to the water inlet of one of the water plates, then the water outlet of the water plate is connected to the water inlet of another water plate, and then the water outlet of the other water plate is connected to the drain pipe.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a flow control device. The water pipe is connected to the water inlet on the water plate after passing through a flow control device. The flow control device is used to control the flow rate of the water flowing into the water plate. If the flow rate is too large, it will cause waste of tap water; if the flow rate is too small, it will affect heat dissipation.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is installed on the water pipe, and the solenoid valve is used to control the on-off of the water flow. When the ice tank does not work, the solenoid valve closes the water flow to avoid waste of tap water.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the pipeline is blocked, the water flow through the water path will decrease. In order to avoid danger caused by excessive temperature of the cooling fin and the heat conduction plate, the present invention further includes a controller and a temperature controller. The temperature controller is used to detect the temperature of the heat conduction plate. If the temperature of the heat conduction plate is greater than the set value of the temperature controller, the temperature controller trips to cut off the power supply of the controller, and the controller controls the cooling fin to cut off the power supply of the cooling fin and the solenoid valve to cut off the water source of the water pipe. In this way, the power supply of the ice tank can be cut off in time, which can avoid further increase in the temperature of the cooling fin and prevent danger.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the heat conduction plate. When the temperature of the heat conduction plate exceeds the set value, the temperature sensor transmits a signal to the electronic control system, and the electronic control system displays an error signal at a prominent position to remind the user to discover the malfunction of the machine in time.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: During use, tap water is passed into the heat conduction plate. When the water flow passes through the cooling assembly, it takes away the heat of the heat conduction plate and the cooling fin. With this structure, the heat dissipation of the ice tank is not affected by space, and it is particularly suitable for occasions where the heat dissipation space is limited, such as under the kitchen sink, but it is convenient to connect to the water source.

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the detailed implementation manners.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and 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.

[0021] Refer to Figures 1-4 , an ice tank assembly, including a main body 1 and a refrigerating sheet 2. Two refrigerating sheets 2 are arranged on the side wall of the main body 1, and the two refrigerating sheets 2 are arranged one above the other. A cooling component � is arranged on each refrigerating sheet 2 and is in close contact with the refrigerating sheet 2. The cooling component 3 includes a heat conducting plate 31 and a water channel plate 32. One side of the heat conducting plate 31 is in close contact with the refrigerating sheet 2, and a groove 321 is arranged on the back surface of the water channel plate 32. The other side of the heat conducting plate 31 is in close contact with the back surface of the water channel plate 32 to form a seal, and the groove 321 is in close contact with the heat conducting plate 31 to enclose a water channel [A1] 3a. In this way, the water flow directly contacts the heat conducting plate, and the heat can be taken away more efficiently.

[0022] The water supply pipe is connected to the water inlet of one of the water channel plates 32, then the water outlet of this water channel plate 32 is connected to the water inlet of the other water channel plate, and then the water outlet of the other water channel plate is connected to the drain pipe.

[0023] It further includes a flow control device 4. The water supply pipe is connected to the water inlet after passing through a flow control device 4. The flow control device is used to control the flow rate of the water flow entering the heat conducting plate. If the flow rate is too large, it will cause waste of tap water; if the flow rate is too small, it will affect heat dissipation.

[0024] It further includes an electromagnetic valve 5. The electromagnetic valve 5 is installed on the water supply pipe, and the electromagnetic valve is used to control the on-off of the water flow. When the ice tank does not work, the electromagnetic valve closes the water flow to avoid waste of water flow.

[0025] When the pipeline is blocked, the water flow through the waterway will be reduced. In order to avoid the danger of excessive temperature of the refrigeration plate and the heat conduction plate, the present invention also includes a controller 6 and a thermostat 7. The thermostat 7 is used to detect the temperature of the heat conduction plate. If the temperature of the heat conduction plate is greater than the set value of the thermostat, the thermostat will trip and cut off the power supply of the controller. The controller controls the refrigeration plate to cut off the power supply of the refrigeration plate and the solenoid valve to cut off the water source of the tap water pipe.

[0026] It also includes a temperature sensor 8, which detects the temperature of the heat conducting plate 31. When the temperature of the heat conducting plate 31 exceeds a set value, the temperature sensor 8 transmits a signal to the electronic control system, and the electronic control system displays an error signal in a prominent position to remind the user to promptly detect machine failure.

[0027] During operation, water is directed through the tap water pipe into the heat transfer plate. As the water flows through the waterway, it removes heat from the heat transfer plate and the cooling fins. This structure allows the cooling of the ice bladder to be unaffected by the space, making it particularly suitable for use in places like kitchens where cooling space is limited but access to a water source is readily available.
