Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making devices, in particular to a spray type ice making component and a beverage purifier. Background Art

[0002] Most of the ice makers, refrigerators and water purifiers sold on the market use the immersion ice-making method. This method is because a certain amount of air is dissolved in the water during the ice-making process. The gas released when the ice maker makes ice quickly does not have time to escape and is frozen in the ice. After the refraction of light, it looks milky white. At the same time, this type of ice contains bubbles, resulting in a low density of the ice. The ice made generally has disadvantages such as low transparency, low hardness, easy melting, and defects in shape.

[0003] Although there are some ice makers on the market that can overcome the above-mentioned ice-making shortcomings, they cannot control the amount of ice made or the shape of the ice made; especially household ice makers, which usually make ice quickly and generally make ice cubes only when needed. However, since the amount of ice made cannot be controlled, the excess ice cubes can only be placed in the storage room of the ice maker for freezing and storage at the same time, or placed in the refrigerator. This not only makes it easy to forget that there are ice cubes in the storage room or refrigerator, but also consumes energy to maintain the state of the ice cubes. Utility Model Content
