TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ice making, in particular to an ice making structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] An ice maker is a device for making ice cubes, which is usually used in commercial places such as bars, restaurants, and cold drink stores. At present, there are various ice makers on the market, such as bullet ice makers, spherical ice makers, and square ice makers, which all have the common defect of large size.

[0003] Patent No. CN120403138A discloses a sprinkling type ice maker, which comprises a water tank, a water inlet device, a spray head assembly, and a refrigeration system. The water tank is connected to the spray head assembly through the water inlet device, and the refrigeration system comprises an ice making evaporator. A plurality of ice making molds and a refrigeration coil for passing refrigerant are arranged in the ice making evaporator. The refrigeration coil is wound around the outer periphery of the ice making mold. The spray head assembly corresponds to the ice making mold. The ice making mold is provided with a forming cavity, and the spray head assembly is connected to the forming cavity. The water sprayed by the spray head assembly flows into the forming cavity to form ice cubes in the forming cavity. In the prior art, when the spray head assembly sprays water onto the ice making mold during the ice making process, the excess water flows along the ice making mold into the ice storage cavity and then flows back to the water tank for recycling. However, when the water flows along the ice making mold into the ice storage cavity, the water will drip onto the ice cubes, causing the ice cubes in the ice storage cavity to melt rapidly.

[0004] Therefore, there is still room for improvement and development in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the problems of the prior art, the present application provides an ice making structure. By arranging a water guide assembly, the excess water flows out of the ice making assembly during the ice making process and is guided back into the water tank assembly by the water guide assembly for recycling. The water will not enter the ice storage assembly and drip onto the ice cubes, thereby solving the problem of rapid melting of ice cubes caused by water dripping onto the ice cubes during the ice making process in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purposes, the technical solutions applied in the present application are as follows: An ice-making structure includes a shell, within which are disposed a water spraying assembly, an ice-making assembly, a water guiding assembly, an ice storage assembly, and a water tank assembly. The water tank assembly is connected to the water spraying assembly, which is correspondingly positioned to the ice-making assembly, and the ice-making assembly is correspondingly positioned to the ice storage assembly. The water guiding assembly includes a vertically arranged rotating component and a water-guiding component. The rotating component is movably positioned between the ice-making assembly and the ice storage assembly. The upper end of the water-guiding component corresponds to the rotating component, and the lower end of the water-guiding component corresponds to the water tank assembly. With this configuration, during ice making, the water tank assembly supplies water to the water spraying assembly, which then sprays the water into the ice-making assembly to make ice. After ice making, the ice blocks fall into the ice storage assembly for storage. By incorporating the water guiding assembly, excess water flowing out along the ice-making assembly is guided back to the water tank assembly for recycling. Water does not enter the ice storage assembly and drip onto the ice blocks, thus solving the problem in existing technologies where water dripping onto the ice blocks causes them to melt rapidly.

[0007] According to the above scheme, the rotating component is provided with a water guide plate and a water baffle plate, and a water trough is formed between the water guide plate and the water baffle plate. The water trough is provided with a water outlet, which is correspondingly set with the water inlet component. With this configuration, excess water during the ice-making process flows out along the ice-making component and falls onto the water guide plate, then enters the water trough along the water guide plate, is blocked by the water baffle plate, and falls onto the water inlet component through the water outlet.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the water inlet is provided with a second water guide plate and a second water baffle plate, and a second water trough is formed between the second water guide plate and the second water baffle plate. A first water outlet is correspondingly provided with the second water trough, and the second water trough is provided with a second water outlet, which is correspondingly provided with the water tank assembly. With this arrangement, the water flowing out along the first water outlet falls into the second water trough, is blocked by the second water baffle plate, and then flows into the water tank assembly through the second water outlet.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the rotating component is rotatably disposed between the ice-making component and the ice-storage component via a rotating shaft, and a limiting component is provided between the rotating component and the housing. With this configuration, in the initial state, the water guide plate is inclined to guide water during the ice-making process. It should be noted that when the water spraying component sprays water into the ice-making component to make ice, the water is rapidly cooled into ice under the action of the ice-making component, and only a small amount of residual water flows out along the ice-making component. When this small amount of residual water falls onto the water guide plate, it will not cause the rotating component to rotate under the action of the limiting component. However, when ice making is completed and water spraying stops, the ice blocks detach and fall onto the water guide plate. Under the weight and impact force of the ice blocks, the rotating component rotates along the axis of the rotating shaft, causing the ice blocks to fall into the ice-storage component.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the water inlet component has a accommodating cavity formed inside, and the ice storage assembly includes a drawer-type ice storage box with an ice storage cavity formed inside. The drawer-type ice storage box is detachably installed in the accommodating cavity, and a water outlet channel is provided between the drawer-type ice storage box and the water inlet component, connecting the ice storage cavity and the water tank assembly. This design, using a drawer-type ice storage box, makes ice removal more convenient; simply pull it out to pour the ice into the beverage, avoiding contamination from contact with the ice. Furthermore, after the ice in the drawer-type ice storage box melts into water, it can return to the water tank assembly through the water outlet channel for reuse.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the water inlet component is equipped with a top rod, and the drawer-type ice storage box is equipped with a handle and a one-way water outlet valve, with the one-way water outlet valve corresponding to the top rod. With this configuration, when the drawer-type ice storage box is installed inside the water inlet component, the top rod lifts the one-way water outlet valve to open it, allowing melted ice water to flow out through the one-way water outlet valve into the water outlet channel and back into the water tank assembly. When the drawer-type ice storage box is removed, the one-way water outlet valve disengages from the top rod and closes, preventing melted ice water from overflowing onto the table and causing contamination.

[0012] According to the above solution, an infrared sensor is installed above the opening of the drawer-type ice storage box. This design allows the infrared sensor to detect the number of times ice is added, as well as whether the drawer-type ice storage box is full.

[0013] According to the above scheme, the water tank assembly includes a water tank with an inlet and an outlet. A filter screen is installed at the inlet, and a water pump is installed at the outlet. The water pump is connected to the spray assembly via a water pipe. The water tank contains a three-stage water level control system. With this configuration, during water supply, the water pump draws water from the tank and sends it through the water pipe to the spray assembly. When the water guiding component guides water, and when melted water from the drawer-type ice storage box returns to the water tank, impurities are filtered out by the filter screen, resulting in cleaner water and more transparent ice.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the three-section water level assembly includes a vertical rod, an upper float, and a lower float. Limiting blocks one and two are fixed at a distance at the upper end of the vertical rod, and the upper float is slidably sleeved on the vertical rod between limiting blocks one and two. Limiting block three is fixed at the lower end of the vertical rod, and the lower float is slidably sleeved on the vertical rod between limiting blocks two and three. A drain hole is provided inside the water tank. With this configuration, when the lower float is located on the upper surface of limiting block three, it indicates that the water level in the tank is too low and water needs to be added until the lower float is located on the bottom surface of limiting block two, at which point water addition stops. When the ice in the drawer-type ice storage box slowly melts and the ice water returns to the water tank, the water level slowly rises. When the upper float is located on the bottom surface of limiting block one, the water in the tank needs to be drained through the drain hole until the upper float is located on the upper surface of limiting block two, at which point drainage stops.

[0015] According to the above scheme, the ice-making assembly includes a fixed bracket, a diversion bracket, a cooling pipe, and an ice-making box. The ice-making box is fixed on the fixed bracket and has multiple ice-making chambers inside. Adjacent ice-making chambers are connected by water passage holes. The cooling pipe is fixed on the ice-making box. The diversion bracket is fixed on the fixed bracket and has multiple water distribution channels arranged side by side on the diversion bracket. The water distribution channels are corresponding to the ice-making chambers. The water spraying assembly includes a water spray pipe fixed on the bracket and has multiple water spray holes arranged side by side on the water spray pipe. The water spray holes are corresponding to the diversion bracket. With this configuration, when water flows out of the water spray holes on the water spray pipe during ice making, the water flows onto the diversion bracket, is diverted by the multiple water distribution channels, and then enters the multiple ice-making chambers in the upper row of the ice-making box. Under the action of the water passage holes, it enters the next row of ice-making chambers. Excess water falls along the bottom of the ice-making box onto the rotating part.

[0016] Beneficial effects of this invention: The present invention is designed such that, by incorporating a water guiding component, excess water flowing out along the ice-making component during the ice-making process is guided back into the water tank component for recycling. This prevents water from entering the ice storage component and dripping onto the ice blocks, thus solving the problem in the prior art where water dripping onto the ice blocks during the ice-making process causes them to melt rapidly.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the ice-making structure of the present invention includes a housing 1, within which are disposed a water spraying assembly, an ice-making assembly, a water guiding assembly, an ice storage assembly, and a water tank assembly. The water tank assembly is connected to the water spraying assembly, which is correspondingly positioned to the ice-making assembly, and the ice-making assembly is correspondingly positioned to the ice storage assembly. The water guiding assembly includes a vertically arranged rotating member 6 and a water-guiding member 7. The rotating member 6 is movably disposed between the ice-making assembly and the ice storage assembly. The upper end of the water-guiding member 7 corresponds to the rotating member 6, and the lower end of the water-guiding member 7 corresponds to the water tank assembly. With this configuration, during ice making, the water tank assembly supplies water to the water spraying assembly, which then sprays the water into the ice-making assembly to make ice. After ice making, the ice blocks fall into the ice storage assembly for storage. By providing the water guiding assembly, excess water during the ice-making process flows out along the ice-making assembly and is then guided back to the water tank assembly for recycling. Water does not enter the ice storage assembly and drip onto the ice blocks, thus solving the problem in the prior art where water dripping onto the ice blocks causes them to melt rapidly.

[0021] The ice storage component is located below the ice making component. The water guiding component includes a rotating part 6 and a water guiding part 7 arranged vertically. The rotating part 6 is movably disposed between the ice making component and the ice storage component. The upper end of the water guiding part 7 is correspondingly disposed to the rotating part 6, and the lower end of the water guiding part 7 is correspondingly disposed to the water tank component. During the ice making process, excess water flows out along the ice making component and falls onto the rotating part 6, then is guided to the water guiding part 7, and finally returns to the water tank component.

[0022] Furthermore, the rotating component 6 is equipped with a water guide plate 61 and a water baffle plate 62, forming a water trough 63 between the water guide plate 61 and the water baffle plate 62. The water trough 63 has a water outlet notch 64, which is correspondingly arranged with the water guide component 7. With this arrangement, during the ice-making process, excess water flows out along the ice-making assembly and falls onto the water guide plate 61, then enters the water trough 63 along the water guide plate 61. After being blocked by the water baffle plate 62, it falls onto the water guide component 7 through the water outlet notch 64.

[0023] Among them, the water baffle plate 62 is set vertically, the water guide plate 61 is set at an angle, the higher end of the water guide plate 61 is located below the ice making component, and the lower end of the water guide plate 61 is fixed with the water baffle plate 62 to form a water tank 63. Both ends of the water tank 63 are provided with water outlet notches 64.

[0024] Furthermore, the water inlet 7 is equipped with a second water guide plate 71 and a second water baffle plate 72, forming a water trough 73 between the second water guide plate 71 and the second water baffle plate 72. A first water outlet 64 is correspondingly provided with the second water trough 73, and the second water trough 73 is provided with a second water outlet 74, which is correspondingly provided with the water tank assembly. With this arrangement, water flowing out along the first water outlet 64 falls into the second water trough 73, is blocked by the second water baffle plate 72, and then flows into the water tank assembly through the second water outlet 74.

[0025] Among them, the second baffle plate 72 is set vertically, the second guide plate 71 is set at an angle, the higher end of the second guide plate 71 is located below the first water outlet 64, and the lower end of the second guide plate 71 is fixed with the second baffle plate 72 to form a water trough 73. Both ends of the water trough 73 are provided with the second water outlet 74.

[0026] Furthermore, the rotating component 6 is rotatably disposed between the ice-making component and the ice-storage component via a rotating shaft 65, and a limiting component is provided between the rotating component 6 and the housing 1. With this configuration, in the initial state, the water guide plate 61 is inclined and used to guide water during the ice-making process. It should be noted that when the water spraying component sprays water into the ice-making component to make ice, the water is rapidly cooled into ice under the action of the ice-making component, and only a small amount of residual water flows out along the ice-making component. When this small amount of residual water falls onto the water guide plate 61, it will not cause the rotating component 6 to rotate under the action of the limiting component. However, when ice making is completed and water spraying stops, the ice blocks detach and fall onto the water guide plate 61. Under the weight and impact force of the ice blocks, the rotating component 6 rotates along the axis of the rotating shaft 65, causing the ice blocks to fall into the ice-storage component.

[0027] The limiting component can be a magnet 66 or a spring. In the initial state, the rotating part 6 is limited by the attraction force of the magnet 66 or the tension of the spring. When a small amount of residual water falls onto the water guide plate 61, it is less than the attraction force of the magnet 66 or the tension of the spring, so it will not cause the rotating part 6 to rotate. When the ice block falls onto the water guide plate 61 after it detaches, the weight and impact force of the ice block are greater than the attraction force of the magnet 66 or the tension of the spring, causing the ice block to fall into the ice storage component. After the ice falls, when the rotating part 6 is not under any force, it will reset under the attraction force of the magnet 66 or the tension of the spring. The rotating shaft 65 is positioned near the water guide plate 61 and the baffle plate 62, with the width of the water guide plate 61 being greater than the width of the baffle plate 62. The water guide plate 61 and the baffle plate 62 form a rocker arm relative to the rotating shaft 65. When guiding water, the rotating component 6 is tilted and corresponding to the water guide component 7. When guiding ice, the rotating component 6 is tilted and corresponding to the drawer-type ice storage box 9. The limiting component is positioned between the baffle plate 62 and the housing 1 or on the baffle plate 62. A space for the baffle plate 62 to move is formed between the baffle plate 62 and the housing 1.

[0028] A reed switch can also be installed between the rotating part 6 and the housing 1. When the rotating part 6 rotates to release ice, the reed switch is triggered. That is, each rotation of the rotating part 6 is considered one ice release, which is used to detect the number of ice releases.

[0029] Furthermore, the water inlet 7 has a cavity 75 formed within it, and the ice storage assembly includes a drawer-type ice storage box 9, which has an ice storage cavity 93 formed within it. The drawer-type ice storage box 9 is detachably installed within the cavity 75. A water outlet channel 10 is provided between the drawer-type ice storage box 9 and the water inlet 7, and the water outlet channel 10 connects the ice storage cavity 93 to the water tank assembly. This design, using the drawer-type ice storage box 9, makes it more convenient to take out ice; simply pull it out to pour the ice into the beverage, avoiding contamination from contact with the ice. The ice in the drawer-type ice storage box 9, after melting into water, can return to the water tank assembly through the water outlet channel 10 for reuse.

[0030] The water inlet 7 is a box structure. A flow channel is formed between the outer wall of the water inlet 7 and the shell 1. The water guided by the water inlet 7 flows into the water tank assembly along the flow channel between the outer wall of the water inlet 7 and the shell 1, and will not come into contact with the drawer-type ice storage box 9, thereby reducing the heat dissipation of the drawer-type ice storage box 9.

[0031] The water tank assembly is located below the drawer-type ice storage box 9.

[0032] Furthermore, the water inlet component 7 is equipped with a top rod 76, and the drawer-type ice storage box 9 is equipped with a handle 91 and a one-way water outlet valve 92, with the one-way water outlet valve 92 corresponding to the top rod 76. This arrangement allows the one-way water outlet valve 92 to open when the drawer-type ice storage box 9 is installed inside the water inlet component 7, via the top rod 76, allowing melted ice water to flow from the one-way water outlet valve 92 into the water outlet channel 10 and back into the water tank assembly. When the drawer-type ice storage box 9 is removed, the one-way water outlet valve 92 disengages from the top rod 76 and closes, preventing melted ice water from overflowing onto the table and causing contamination.

[0033] Furthermore, an infrared sensor 8 is installed above the opening of the drawer-type ice storage box 9. This configuration allows the infrared sensor 8 to detect the number of times ice is added, as well as whether the drawer-type ice storage box 9 is full.

[0034] Furthermore, the water tank assembly includes a water tank 12, which has an inlet and an outlet. A filter screen 11 is installed at the inlet, and a water pump 13 is installed at the outlet. The water pump 13 is connected to the spray assembly via a water pipe 14. The water tank 12 contains a three-stage water level assembly 15. With this configuration, during water supply, the water pump 13 draws water from the water tank 12, which is then pumped through the water pipe 14 and sent to the spray assembly. When the water guiding assembly guides water, and when the melted water in the drawer-type ice storage box 9 returns to the water tank 12, the filter screen 11 filters out excess ice crystals and impurities before replenishing the water tank 12, resulting in cleaner water and more transparent ice.

[0035] The water tank 12 is equipped with a three-stage water level component 15. When the water level is low, water is added from the clean water tank to the water tank 12. When the water level is medium, water addition stops. When the ice in the drawer-type ice storage box 9 melts and the water level in the water tank 12 exceeds the medium water level to the high water level, the cleaning pump is started to drain the excess water back to the original water tank.

[0036] Furthermore, the three-section water level assembly 15 includes a vertical rod 151, an upper float 155, and a lower float 156. The upper end of the vertical rod 151 is fixed with a first limiting block 152 and a second limiting block 153 at intervals. The upper float 155 is slidably sleeved on the vertical rod 151 between the first limiting block 152 and the second limiting block 153. The lower end of the vertical rod 151 is fixed with a third limiting block 154. The lower float 156 is slidably sleeved on the vertical rod 151 between the second limiting block 153 and the third limiting block 154. The water tank 12 is provided with a drain hole 16. With this setup, when the lower float 156 is positioned on the upper surface of the third limiting block 154, it indicates that the water level in the water tank 12 is too low and water needs to be added to the water tank 12. Water addition will stop when the lower float 156 is positioned on the bottom surface of the second limiting block 153. When the ice in the drawer-type ice storage box 9 slowly melts and the ice water returns to the water tank 12, the water level will slowly rise. When the upper float 155 is positioned on the bottom surface of the first limiting block 152, the water in the water tank 12 needs to be drained through the drain hole 16. Drainage will stop when the upper float 155 is positioned on the upper surface of the second limiting block 153.

[0037] Furthermore, the ice-making assembly includes a fixed bracket 17, a diversion bracket 3, a cooling pipe 4, and an ice-making box 5. The ice-making box 5 is fixed to the fixed bracket 17 and has multiple ice-making chambers. Adjacent ice-making chambers are connected by water passage holes 51. The cooling pipe 4 is fixed to the ice-making box 5. The diversion bracket 3 is fixed to the fixed bracket 17 and has multiple water distribution channels 31 arranged side by side, corresponding to the ice-making chambers. The water spraying assembly includes a water spray pipe 2, which is fixed to the bracket 17. The water spray pipe 2 has multiple water spray holes arranged side by side, corresponding to the diversion bracket 3. With this configuration, when water flows out of the water spray holes on the water spray pipe 2, it falls onto the diversion bracket 3, is diverted by the multiple water distribution channels 31, and then enters the multiple ice-making chambers in the upper row of the ice-making box 5. Under the action of the water passage holes 51, it enters the next row of ice-making chambers. Excess water falls along the bottom of the ice-making box 5 onto the rotating component 6.

[0038] The water spray pipe 2 is located above the diversion bracket 3, the diversion bracket 3 is located above the ice box 5, the cooling pipe 4 is located on the outer wall of the ice box 5, and the rotating part 6 is located below the ice box 5; the cooling pipe 4 is connected to the external refrigeration system.

[0039] Water inlet holes can also be set on the diversion bracket 3 to connect to the water tank. When the water level in the water tank 12 is too low, water can be added through the water tank to make ice, so as to ensure the ice-making efficiency. At the same time, water is added into the water tank 12.

[0040] The ice-making structure described in this invention is compact and has a small overall volume, and can be used in water dispensers, ice makers, and coffee machines.

However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other modifications under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these modifications are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
