Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ice making machines, and in particular relates to an ice making machine with a falling material buffering function. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. It uses a refrigeration system and water as a carrier to make ice by passing it through a certain device when powered on.

[0003] After the existing ice making machine is completed, the ice cubes slide into the ice bin through the inclined plate. Since the ice bin is too high to receive ice, the ice cubes will break when they fall, thus affecting the integrity of the ice cubes.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design an ice making machine with a falling material buffering function. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an ice maker with a falling material buffering function to solve the technical problem that ice cubes are easily broken when entering an ice bin.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an ice making machine with a falling material buffering function, comprising:

[0007] The ice maker body comprises: an ice bin arranged below the ice outlet;

[0008] The buffer assembly disposed on the inner wall of the ice bin comprises: an inclined plate connected to the side wall of the ice bin;

[0009] The inclined plate is suitable for pre-receiving ice cubes to reduce the falling height of the ice cubes.

[0010] Furthermore, the inclined plate is rotatably connected to the side wall of the ice bin; wherein

[0011] A torsion spring is provided at the rotation point between the inclined plate and the ice bin.

[0012] Furthermore, a support plate is provided inside the ice bin;

[0013] The support plate can slide up and down along the inner wall of the ice bin;

[0014] The buffer assembly further includes: an extension plate slidably connected to the inclined plate;

[0015] The extension plate is arranged below the inclined plate;

[0016] One end of the extension plate is slidably connected to the support plate;

[0017] The support plate is adapted to slide down while supporting ice cubes; and

[0018] The extension plate is suitable for sliding on the support plate and extending from the inclined plate when the support plate slides down.

[0019] Furthermore, the buffer assembly also includes: at least two spring telescopic rods;

[0020] The spring telescopic rod is arranged between the inclined plate and the extension plate; and

[0021] The spring telescopic rod is suitable for telescoping when the extension plate extends and retracts along the inclined plate.

[0022] Furthermore, the support plate is provided with at least two long through holes;

[0023] The bottom of the support plate is provided with a guide rail groove;

[0024] The groove bottom of the guide rail groove is connected to the long through hole;

[0025] A sliding block is provided below the support plate;

[0026] The slide block is suitable for sliding in the guide rail groove;

[0027] The top of the sliding block is suitable for being hinged to the extension plate after passing through the long through hole.

[0028] Furthermore, the ice maker body further comprises: a shell and a door; wherein

[0029] The machine door is slidably connected to the shell.

[0030] Furthermore, a recess is provided on the top of the door.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0032] (I) The utility model reduces the drop height of the ice cubes directly falling into the ice bin by pre-catching the ice cubes with the inclined plate when the ice cubes slide into the ice bin. The ice cubes falling on the inclined plate slide along the inclined plate into the ice bin, thereby achieving the effect of buffering and protecting the ice cubes from falling, and avoiding the problem of ice cubes being broken due to a high falling height.

[0033] (ii) According to the utility model, when ice cubes slide from the inclined plate to the support plate, the weight of the accumulated ice cubes causes the support plate to move downward in the ice bin. At this time, the support plate stretches the extension plate to extend from under the inclined plate. When the extension plate extends, it squeezes the spring telescopic rod with the inclined plate to shrink and undergo elastic deformation. As the accumulated weight of the ice cubes increases, the spring telescopic rod is in an unretractable state. At this time, the support plate moves downward, the inclined plate rotates and compresses the torsion spring, and the extension plate slides on the support plate and moves simultaneously to increase the storage space of the ice bin. Conversely, the weight of the ice cubes decreases, and under the action of the elastic deformation of the torsion spring and the spring telescopic rod, the support plate, the extension plate and the inclined plate gradually return to their initial state. Through the above steps, the effect of increasing the storage space of the ice bin while achieving the buffering protection of falling materials is achieved.

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Example 1

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides an ice making machine with a falling material buffering function, comprising:

[0047] The ice maker body 1 comprises: an ice bin 11 arranged below the ice outlet; a buffer assembly 2 arranged on the inner wall of the ice bin 11, comprising: an inclined plate 21 connected to the side wall of the ice bin 11; wherein the inclined plate 21 is suitable for pre-connecting ice cubes to reduce the height of ice cubes falling; wherein the inclined plate 21 is inclined, and the most preferred inclination angle is 140°.

[0048] In the present embodiment, when the ice cubes slide into the ice bin 11, the inclined plate 21 pre-connects the ice cubes, reducing the falling height of the ice cubes directly falling into the ice bin 11. The ice cubes falling onto the inclined plate 21 slide along the inclined plate 21 into the ice bin 11, thereby achieving the effect of buffering and protecting the ice cubes from falling, and avoiding the problem of ice cubes breaking due to a high falling height.

[0049] The ice maker body 1 further comprises: a shell 12 and a door 13 ; wherein the door 13 is slidably connected to the shell 12 .

[0050] A recess 131 is disposed on the top of the door 13 ; the recess 131 is used to facilitate opening and closing of the door 13 . Example 2

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, based on Example 1, this Example 2 includes:

[0052] The inclined plate 21 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the ice bin 11; a torsion spring is provided at the rotation point between the inclined plate 21 and the ice bin 11; the function of the torsion spring is that when the inclined plate 21 rotates downward under the action of the weight of the ice cubes, the torsion spring undergoes elastic deformation, and when the ice cubes slide off, the torsion spring deforms and rebounds to drive the inclined plate to return to its original position.

[0053] A support plate 3 is provided inside the ice bin 11; wherein the support plate 3 can slide up and down along the inner wall of the ice bin 11; the buffer assembly 2 also includes: an extension plate 22 slidably connected to the inclined plate 21; wherein the extension plate 22 is arranged below the inclined plate 21; one end of the extension plate 22 is slidably connected to the support plate 3; wherein the support plate 3 is suitable for sliding down when supporting ice cubes; and the extension plate 22 is suitable for sliding on the support plate 3 and extending from the inclined plate 21 when the support plate 3 slides down.

[0054] The buffer assembly 2 further includes: at least two spring telescopic rods 23 ; wherein the spring telescopic rods 23 are disposed between the inclined plate 21 and the extension plate 22 ; and the spring telescopic rods 23 are adapted to telescope when the extension plate 22 extends and retracts along the inclined plate 21 .

[0055] In this embodiment, when the ice cubes slide from the inclined plate 21 onto the support plate 3, the weight of the accumulated ice cubes causes the support plate 3 to move downward in the ice bin 11. At this time, the support plate 3 stretches the extension plate 22 to extend from under the inclined plate 21. When the extension plate 22 extends, it squeezes the spring telescopic rod 23 with the inclined plate 21 to shrink and undergo elastic deformation. Due to the increase in the accumulated weight of the ice cubes, the spring telescopic rod 23 is in an inextractable state. At this time, the support plate 3 moves downward, the inclined plate 21 rotates and compresses the torsion spring, and the extension plate 22 slides on the support plate 3 and moves simultaneously to increase the storage space of the ice bin 11. Conversely, the weight of the ice cubes decreases, and under the action of the elastic deformation of the torsion spring and the spring telescopic rod 23, the support plate 3, the extension plate 22 and the inclined plate 21 are gradually restored to their initial state. Through the above steps, the effect of increasing the storage space of the ice bin 11 while achieving the buffering protection of falling materials is achieved. Example 3

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, as an implementation of Example 2, this Example 3 includes:

[0057] At least two long through holes 31 are provided on the support plate 3; a guide rail groove 32 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 3; the bottom of the guide rail groove 32 is connected with the long through hole 31; a slider 4 is provided under the support plate 3; the slider 4 is suitable for sliding in the guide rail groove 32; the top of the slider 4 is suitable for passing through the long through hole 31 and then being hinged to the extension plate 22; it is most preferred to use two long through holes 31, and when the extension plate 22 needs to slide on the support plate 3, the extension plate 22 only needs to drive the slider 4 to move in the guide rail groove 32 to reduce friction.
