[0028] The utility model provides a water dispenser with an ice-making function, which adopts semiconductor refrigeration technology, combines instant heating and ice-making into one, has the characteristics of small size and low noise, and meets the demand for ice-making.
[0029] The machine body 100 has a hot water chamber 110 , a cold chamber 120 , and a heat preservation door panel 130 for opening or closing the cold chamber 120 .
[0030] The refrigeration assembly 200 includes a first metal conductor 240, a second metal conductor 250 and a third metal conductor 260. An N-type semiconductor 270 is installed between the first metal conductor 240 and the second metal conductor 250, and a P-type semiconductor 280 is installed between the first metal conductor 240 and the third metal conductor 260. The second metal conductor 250 is connected to the positive electrode of the DC power supply, and the third metal conductor 260 is connected to the negative electrode of the DC power supply. In this way, when the refrigeration assembly 200 is working, according to the principle of semiconductor refrigeration, it can be observed that the first metal conductor 270 is connected to the positive electrode of the DC power supply, and the third metal conductor 260 is connected to the negative electrode of the DC power supply. An endothermic effect can be observed at the junction of the body 240 with the N-type semiconductor 270 and the P-type semiconductor 280, and an exothermic effect can be observed at the junction of the second metal conductor 250 with the N-type semiconductor 270 and the junction of the third metal conductor 260 with the P-type semiconductor 280. When the direction of the current is changed, the cooling end becomes the heating end, and the heating end becomes the cooling end. In this embodiment, the semiconductor refrigeration device of the ice-making chamber 120a is in the ice-making mode during the ice-making process and in the heating mode during ice melting. The semiconductor refrigeration device of the ice storage chamber 120b is always in the cooling mode.
[0031] Preferably, in this embodiment, the refrigeration assembly 200 also includes a first insulating plate 210 installed on the top of the cold chamber 120, and a second insulating plate 220 and a third insulating plate 230 installed and separated at the bottom of the hot water chamber 110, which can isolate the refrigeration assembly 200 from other water dispenser components to prevent leakage and electric shock, and the first insulating plate 210, the second insulating plate 220 and the third insulating plate 230 are ceramic sheets, the first metal conductor 240, the second metal conductor 250 and the third metal conductor 260 are copper conductors, and the first metal conductor 240 extends to the back of the water dispenser to expand the range and effect of refrigeration.
[0032] In the present embodiment, a flip mechanism 300 is also included. The flip mechanism 300 includes an ice-making frame 310 located in the cold chamber 120 and opening upward, and a driving motor 320 installed on the outer wall of the machine body 100 and extending into the cold chamber 120 and connected to the ice-making frame 310 to drive the ice-making frame 310 to flip. The ice-making frame 310 has an ice-making plate 330 inside, and the bottom of the ice-making plate 330 has an ice cube groove 330a. The bottom of the ice-making frame 310 has a partition 340, which divides the cold chamber 120 into an ice-making chamber 120a and an ice storage chamber 120b. When ice making is needed, water is poured into the ice-making frame 310. Since the position of the first metal conductor 240 is used as a cold end to transfer the cold The ice in the ice making frame 310 is transferred to the ice making chamber 120a of the cold chamber 120. After the water in the ice making frame 310 turns into ice, the electrodes of the semiconductor refrigeration are changed to heat the ice making chamber 120a and melt the outer edge of the ice. Then the driving motor 320 drives the ice making frame 310 to flip. At this time, the partition 340 flips along with the ice making frame 310 to connect the ice making chamber 120a and the ice storage chamber 120b. After the flipping, the ice in the ice making frame 310 falls into the ice storage chamber 120b due to its own weight. Preferably, in this embodiment, the front side of the ice storage chamber 120b has a baffle 120b-1 to prevent the ice from falling out. The ice making frame 310 is a semicircular structure with an open top.
