Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to an ice making machine with an external water tank. Background Art

[0002] During the preparation stage before making ice, a certain amount of water needs to be pumped into the ice maker. Since the ice making process of the ice maker is short and continuous, in order to prevent the water supply for ice making from being untimely, general ice makers are equipped with water tanks.

[0003] Due to the limitation of the size of the ice maker itself, the water storage tank in the existing ice maker is too small to store a large amount of water, which is inconvenient to use and requires the user to add water to the water tank from time to time. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide an ice maker with an external water tank, so as to solve the problem that the capacity of the internal water tank of the ice maker in the prior art is relatively small, and water needs to be frequently added during use, which is very inconvenient to use.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an ice maker with an external water tank, comprising an ice maker body and a water tank, the water tank being detachably connected to the outer side wall of the ice maker body, the water tank being provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, the water outlet being connected to the ice maker body by a water pipe, the water inlet being provided at the top of the water tank, a filter plate being provided in the water tank, two floating blocks being fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter plate, the two floating blocks being symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the filter plate, a blocking rod being fixedly installed at the top of the filter plate, and the water inlet and the blocking rod being positioned opposite to each other up and down.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: a vertical rod is fixedly installed in the water tank, and the filter plate is slidably connected to the vertical rod.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: an alarm is installed on the outer wall of the water tank, and a switch for controlling the alarm is installed at the bottom of the water tank, and the switch is located directly below one of the floating blocks.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model has a simple structure and a clever design. By arranging a water tank on the outer side wall of the ice maker body, the ice maker body can be replenished with water in a timely and effective manner. At the same time, the filter plate arranged in the water tank can effectively filter the water quality to avoid the ice cubes being unusable due to water quality problems. The floating block and the blocking rod arranged on the filter plate cleverly utilize the buoyancy to achieve the effect of automatically closing and stopping the water addition after the water tank is filled with water, and the utility model is relatively practical.

[0012] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model. In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "upper surface", etc. is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model 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 cannot be understood as limiting the utility model. In the utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral body; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or can communicate with each other; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0013] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model provides an embodiment: an ice maker with an external water tank, comprising an ice maker body 1 and a water tank 2, wherein the water tank 2 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the ice maker body 1. A water inlet 3 and a water outlet 4 are provided on the water tank 2, and a water pipe is connected between the water outlet 4 and the ice maker body 1, and the water inlet 3 is provided at the top of the water tank 2.

[0014] A filter plate 5 is provided in the water tank 2, and two floating blocks 6 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter plate 5, and the two floating blocks 6 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the filter plate 5. A blocking rod 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the filter plate 5, and the water inlet 3 is located opposite to the blocking rod 7. A vertical rod 8 is fixedly installed in the water tank 2, and the filter plate 5 is slidably connected to the vertical rod 8. The filter plate 5 slides along the vertical rod 8, and the vertical rod 8 also has a limiting effect on the limiting rod.

[0015] An alarm is installed on the outer wall of the water tank 2, and a switch 9 for controlling the alarm is installed at the bottom of the water tank 2, and the switch 9 is located just below one of the floating blocks 6. The alarm can remind the staff to add water in time when the water in the water tank 2 is almost used up and the water level is too low.

[0016] Specific implementation method: By arranging a water tank 2 on the outer side wall of the ice maker body 1, the ice maker body 1 can be replenished with water in a timely and effective manner. At the same time, the filter plate 5 arranged in the water tank 2 can effectively filter the water quality to avoid the ice cubes being unusable due to water quality problems.

[0017] The floating block 6 can make the filter plate 5 always float on the liquid level of the water tank 2. When the water in the water tank 2 is about to be filled, the filter plate 5 drives the blocking rod 7 to timely block the water inlet 3, thereby achieving the effect of automatically closing and stopping water addition after the water tank 2 is filled with water.

[0018] The switch 9 arranged at the bottom of the water tank 2 controls the operation of the alarm. When the water in the water tank 2 is almost used up, the float 6 contacts the switch 9, triggering the switch 9 to connect the alarm. The alarm can promptly and effectively issue a water shortage warning, reminding the staff to replenish the water in the water tank 2 in time, which is very practical.

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
