DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 An embodiment of the utility model discloses a cleaning device for an ice maker, which is installed on an opening and closing door 11 of a cabinet 1. Of course, the ice maker described in this embodiment includes an ice-making mechanism and a cabinet 1, and the ice-making mechanism is installed above the cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 is used to store ice cubes. Specifically, the cleaning device includes a cleaning box 2, and two cover plates 3 are rotatably connected to the opening side of the cleaning box 2. A driving mechanism 4 is provided between the cover plate 3 and the cleaning box 2, and the driving mechanism 4 is used to drive the cover plate 3 to rotate. A reset mechanism 5 is also provided inside the cleaning box 2, and the reset mechanism 5 is used to drive the cover plate 3 to reset at the opening of the cleaning box 2;

[0021] A plurality of nozzles 31 are spaced apart on the inner side of the cover plate 3 , a water inlet pipe 21 penetrating the cleaning box 2 is fixedly mounted on the end surface of the cleaning box 2 , and the plurality of nozzles 31 are connected to the water inlet pipe 21 through pipe fittings.

[0022] That is to say, in this embodiment, the interior of the cabinet 1 is sprayed with water for cleaning by the nozzle 31 provided. Obviously, a discharge port should be connected to the cabinet 1. Furthermore, in the embodiment of the utility model, the nozzle 31 can be configured as a rotating nozzle, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect of the interior of the cabinet 1.

[0023] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 4 in the utility model is a torsion spring, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixed to the end faces of the cover plate 3 and the cleaning box 2, that is, in the utility model, the torsion spring is used to drive the cover plate 3 to rotate and open, and after opening, the nozzle 31 can be used to spray water to achieve cleaning of the inside of the cabinet 1. Of course, after cleaning is completed, the two cover plates 3 can be driven to reverse and reset through the reset mechanism 5, thereby achieving storage protection of the nozzle 31.

[0024] Furthermore, the reset mechanism 5 includes a motor 51, which is fixedly installed inside the cleaning box 2, and a worm 52 is fixedly installed on the shaft end of the motor 51. The inner side of the cleaning box 2 is also rotatably connected to a worm wheel 53, and the worm wheel 53 is meshed with the worm 52 for transmission, wherein a wire drum 54 is fixed on both sides of the worm wheel 53, and a traction rope 55 connected to the cover plate 3 is wound around the wire drum 54.

[0025] That is, when the cover 3 is unfolded, the worm 52 is driven to rotate by the motor 51, and when the worm 52 rotates, the two wire drums 54 are driven to rotate via the worm gear 53. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the two wire drums 54 should be symmetrically arranged to achieve traction and driving of the cover 3 on both sides when rotating in the same direction. Furthermore, the traction rope 55 is unwound when the two wire drums 54 rotate, and the two cover plates 3 are relatively rotated and opened under the action of the torsion spring. At this time, the nozzle 31 faces the inside of the cabinet 1, and the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to an external water source to spray water to clean the inside, thereby completing the cleaning operation of the ice maker. After cleaning is completed, the motor 51 is reversed, and similarly, the two wire drums 54 are reversed to drive and pull the two traction ropes 55, so as to achieve reverse driving and resetting of the cover 3.

[0026] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in the embodiment of the utility model, a placement cavity 22 is further separated by a partition 27 on the inner side of the cleaning box 2, and a plurality of ultraviolet lamps 23 are placed inside the placement cavity 22. When the ice maker is used on a ship, considering that there are still many impurities and organic matter in the seawater, it is very easy for bacteria to be generated inside the cabinet 1 after storing ice cubes. Therefore, the ultraviolet lamp 23 set in the utility model can be used to irradiate the interior of the cabinet 1 with ultraviolet rays after the water spray cleaning is completed, so as to achieve the purpose of sterilization and avoid the problem of bacteria generated inside the cabinet 1.

[0027] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a wiring terminal 24 is installed inside the cleaning box 2, and the ultraviolet lamp 23 and the motor 51 are electrically connected to the wiring terminal 24 through a wire. A wiring tube 25 that passes through the opening and closing door 11 is provided at the back end of the cleaning box 2. The wiring terminal 24 is provided to facilitate the wiring of the motor 51 and multiple ultraviolet lamps 23, thereby improving the convenience of internal line connection and the regularity of wiring.

[0028] In order to protect the connection terminals 24 from moisture corrosion and short circuit, a blocking cover 26 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the cleaning box 2 in the embodiment of the utility model, and the blocking cover 26 is sleeved on the outer side of the connection terminals 24 .

[0029] In summary, in the utility model, a cleaning box 2 is installed on the opening and closing door 11 of the cabinet 1, and a rotatable cover 3 is provided on the cleaning box 2. When the cover 3 is opened, the nozzle 31 can be exposed to realize water spray cleaning inside the cabinet 1, so as to avoid the problem of impurities generated inside the cabinet 1 after storing ice cubes for a long time, thereby improving the cleanliness of the interior of the cabinet 1. At the same time, the rotatable cover 3 can be used to store multiple nozzles 31 when not in operation, which not only improves the integrated aesthetics of the entire device, but also realizes the protection of the nozzle 31, thereby avoiding the problem of damage caused by collision with the exposed nozzle 31 when taking ice cubes. The overall structural design is simple and reasonable, which meets the use requirements on ships.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
