TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to ice water maker, ice maker, and other appliances containing ice water and ice making functions. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the market demand for ice beverages and ice water beverages is increasing. Ice making is to cool water until it condenses into ice, and then the ice is dropped off for people to use. Ice water is relatively simple, which is generally cooled to below the condensation temperature and then stored for people to use.
[0003] Water cooling generally has static and dynamic two ways, static is that water does not flow, for example, water in the ice tank of the water dispenser is cooled to make ice water, and water is placed in the refrigerator to wait for ice; dynamic is that water is forced to flow, for example, supercooling ice making, that is, the temperature of water is reduced to below 0 degrees Celsius and then static ice. Dynamic cooling is faster than static cooling, because water in the forced flow process is mainly convective heat transfer, and water in the static state is mainly conductive heat transfer. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides an ice water and ice making system and an ice making box.
[0005] An ice water system includes a refrigerated water cooling plate, a cold water storage tank, a refrigeration device, a heat sink, and a water pump. The refrigeration device is a semiconductor refrigeration sheet or a compressor. The refrigeration end of the refrigeration device is installed with a refrigerated water cooling plate, and the heating end is installed with a heat sink. Under the drive of the water pump, the water in the cold water storage tank flows through the refrigerated water cooling plate to be cooled, and then returns to the cold water storage tank, and circulates until the water temperature in the cold water storage tank reaches a preset temperature.
[0006] The present application has the following advantages:
[0007] An ice water system includes a refrigerated water cooling plate, a cold water storage tank, a refrigeration device, a heat sink, and a water pump. The refrigeration device is a semiconductor refrigeration sheet or a compressor. The refrigeration end of the refrigeration device is installed with a refrigerated water cooling plate, and the heating end is installed with a heat sink. Using a semiconductor refrigeration sheet to cool has the advantages of small size and low noise; using a compressor to cool has the advantages of large refrigeration capacity and high energy efficiency ratio. Under the drive of the water pump, the water in the cold water storage tank flows through the refrigerated water cooling plate to be cooled, and then returns to the cold water storage tank, and circulates until the water temperature in the cold water storage tank reaches a preset temperature. This process is dynamic cooling, which can quickly reduce the water temperature and speed up the ice water production.
[0008] An ice-water-making system includes a cooling water plate, a cold water tank, a refrigerator, a radiator, and an agitator. The refrigerator is a semiconductor refrigeration chip or a compressor. The cooling water plate is installed on the cooling end of the refrigerator, and the radiator is installed on the heating end. The cooling water plate is a metal plate with good thermal conductivity and is installed on the cold water tank, or the cold water tank body can be used as the cooling water plate. Driven by the agitator, the water in the cold water tank is kept in a flowing state to accelerate heat dissipation until the water temperature in the cold water tank reaches a preset temperature. The agitator can be driven by a motor or a magnet.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0010] A chilled water system includes a cooling water plate, a cold water tank, a refrigerator, a radiator, and an agitator. The refrigerator is a semiconductor refrigeration chip or a compressor. The cooling end of the refrigerator is equipped with a cooling water plate, and the heating end is equipped with a radiator. Using semiconductor refrigeration chips for cooling has the advantages of small size and low noise; using compressors for cooling has the advantages of large cooling capacity and high energy efficiency. The cooling water plate is a metal plate with good thermal conductivity. Installed on the cold water tank, it helps to expand the heat dissipation area; or using the tank body of the cold water tank as the cooling water plate helps to reduce costs. Driven by the agitator, the water in the cold water tank is in a flowing state to speed up the heat dissipation until the water temperature in the cold water tank reaches a preset temperature. This process is dynamic cooling, which can quickly reduce the water temperature and speed up the ice water production.
[0011] An ice box includes the refrigeration water-cooling plate of the aforementioned ice-making water system, as well as a convection water chamber, an ice-making water chamber, and a valve. The convection water chamber includes a convection heat exchange channel. The refrigeration water-cooling plate is mounted above the convection heat exchange channel, and the ice-making water chamber is mounted below the convection heat exchange channel. The ice-making water chamber includes an ice-making grid and an ice-water return port. The refrigeration water-cooling plate can be equipped with a heat dissipation column extending into the ice-making grid. Water flows through the convection water chamber, cooling it to produce ice water; water remains stationary in the ice-making water chamber, cooling it to produce ice. The ice-water return port is mounted below the ice-making grid. During ice making, the water level can be lowered through the ice-water return port to clear the convection heat exchange channel. After ice making is complete, excess ice water can be recovered. To remove ice, the refrigerator reverses heat, heating the refrigeration water-cooling plate, causing ice cubes condensed on the refrigeration water-cooling plate to fall off. The valve is mounted below the ice-making water chamber. Once ice cubes fall out of the ice-making grid, the valve opens, allowing the ice cubes to slide out automatically. The aforementioned upper and lower parts are relative positions, and the ice box can be tilted or even turned upside down to take out ice.

The reverse heating accelerates the separation speed of the ice block and improves the user experience. The valve is arranged below the ice making water chamber. After the ice block is separated from the ice making grid, the valve can be opened, so that the ice block slides out. The valve can balance the sealing performance of water and the passing performance of the ice block. The ice block automatically slides out, and the user uses it more conveniently.
